Excerpt from Those Times and TheseAt the blast of the Emily F oster's whistles as she rounded to and put her nose upstream pre paratory to sliding in alongside the wharf, divers coloured persons of the leisure class had roused from where they napped in the shady lee of freight piles and lined up on the outer gun wales of the wharf-boat ready to catch and make fast the head-line when it should be tossed across the intervening patch of water into their volunteer hands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
