ships of half the world. Then into a
wide flashing river, the James river,
four or five miles wide down there at
its mouth. And up and up and up the

touch of excitement in his grave man

There were people gathering on the
lawn, negroes drawn up in line; the
women In b~right-colored turbans, men
and women both showing white teeth
as they grinned with the pleasure and
the excitement Of watching the ship

ran down the broad greenness, and a
