O knihe

Excerpt from The Port of Missing Ships: And Other Stories of the Sea

The ship's master, Captain Walter W. Allen, of Newburyport, was not in sight, having gone to the office of the agents to settle some accounts and sign the papers; but what with the moving of the trucks, under the shouts of noisy truckmen, and the hoisting of the cargo, with the noise of whistle and steam engine, and the hoisting and stretching of sails to the orders of mate and riggers, there was no end of animation about the Governor George T. Oglesby; a Iandsman would have said there was a babel of confusion, but to the eye of the sailorman everything was working with a smoothness and regularity seldom to be found under like circumstances except on the deck of a Yankee clipper.
