Of life that would hare contributed TO
his lore Of couutry- Closely woven
with the poetry Of the yoyages Was
the brawny negro deekhani, and right
behind him the masterfnl mate, with
his hair trigger profanity dynamo.
The big Anchor Line steamers for

the boat as long as there we're offer
1 ings Of freight. and ii looked as il thF
shipping clerks in tne big wholesale

at their mules, and the mates woult
cuss the roustabouts. Eyerybod!

Of freight would roar across the Wflar
bridge, an army Of black men wonlt
seize the stuff almost before the team
