One of the most famous of American
shipping lines in the .palmy days of oul
marine was the Cope line, which ran
between Philadelphia and Liverpool
says the author of Memoirs of Charles
II. Cramp." BY this line John Ran
dolph of Roanoke determined to go to
Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jackson. Entering the Office of the
company in Philadelphia. he said to q
clerk in his usual grandiloquent man
ner:
"Sir, wish to see Thomas P. Cope.
He was shown to Mr.. Cope's office.
81 am John Randolph of Roanoke
he said Il wish to take passage to
Liverpool in one of your ships"
If he expected to be rendered a pass
he was grievously disappointed.
81 am Thomas Cope" replied the
head of the line. IF thee goes aboard
the ship and selects thy stateroom and
will pay $50 thee may CO."
