Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Things Abroad We were waiting for the hour of sailing when we walked out upon the bridge which joins New York and Brooklyn, and read the words of restriction and caution which were repeated for the benefit of travellers, - Keep to the right and keep moving. We felt the force of the counsel, and allowed it to settle in our minds as we turned to the unbridged sea. It was on the Fourth of July that we really began to move. The day was as hot as it could be, and the tar melted in the seams of the deck. It was refreshing to think of cooler airs, which were lying in wait for us. Days passed before we found complete relief. Between the hot sides of the ship and the hot air of the engine, our state-rooms were intolerable. When they became comfortable, the sea became rough, and the appearance of the upper deck changed, as it is accustomed to do in the process of the voyage. Men were fewer. Ladies concealed themselves entirely, or, encased in shawls, clung to their long chairs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
