Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unlucky Mark It was half-past six in the morning. A bright sun had risen into an unclouded heaven, and shone over the plateau of Mysore and the adjacent district of Salem. The tropical heat was tempered by a cold wind. Its crispness caused the horses that were waiting to be released from their boxes to stamp impatiently. Occasionally an interrogative neigh came from one of the compartments. It was answered by a puzzled and bewildered call from another. This separation from their companions was not at all to the liking of the Walers. Their gregarious habits made them miserable when parted from their companions. The terrible sea voyage from Australia was over. The still more terrifying transhipment, by means of a sling at the end of the long arm of the crane, was a nightmare of the past. When the trembling creatures had turned their backs on the shimmering restless sea and felt terra firma once more beneath their feet, their courage returned. Their troubles, however, were not over. They had to learn to eat a new kind of food, and what was still more disturbing to their peace of mind, to drink out of troughs and buckets instead of the pools and rivers of the land of their birth.
