Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kate Meredith Financier "Mighty beach to-day!" grumbled Captain Image, and handed binoculars across to the purser. Mr. Balgarnie tossed his cigarette over the lee rail and tucked a sheaf of papers into his mouth so as to have two spare hands. Day had ten minutes before glared up over an oily swell-writhing sea of bottle-green; dew lay in fat greasy gouts on the deck planks and the skylight frames, foretelling in clear prophecy another spell of scalding West African sunshine; and a mile out from the crashing, bellowing surf that smoked along the beach, the S.S. M´poso buttocked sullenly over the swells, with engines rung off, and sweating firemen on the top of the fiddley, slewing ventilators to catch a flavor of the breeze. "They´ve seen us, sir, at the factory" said Mr. Balgarnie. "All the boys are out working cargo, and there´s old Swizzle-Stick Smith sucking his eternal pipe and hustling them with a chiquot. I can catch the glint of his eyeglass. Wonder how long that man´s been out on the Coast? Must be a matter of twenty years now by all accounts since he had his last run home. He´s found the right kind of ju-ju to dodge fever-palaver, anyhow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
