Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Irish Cousin There had been several days of thick, murky weather; dull, uncomplaining days, that bore their burden of fog and rain in monotonous endurance. Six of such I had lived through; a passive existence, parcelled out to me by the uncomprehended clanging of bells, and the, to me, still more incomprehensible clatter which, recurring at regular intervals, told that a hungry multitude were plying their knives and forks in the saloon. But a change had come at last; and on Saturday morning, instead of heaving ridges of grey water, I saw through the port-hole the broken green glitter of sunlit waves. The S.S. Alaska´s lurching plunge had subsided into a smooth unimpeded rushing through the water, and for the first time since I had left New York, the desire for food and human companionship awoke in me.
