Violet R. Markham epub The South African Scene (Classic Reprint)

Yesterday you had a song I could not choose but hear; Twas Oh to be in England Now that A pril sthere !B ut I have found a new refrain I cannot choose but sing ;T isO hto be in Africa Now Summer son the wing !P ercival Gibbon. Four a.m. inT able Bay on a mild spring morning in October; the harbour a blaze of lights ahead ;to the right, the vast bulk of theL ions Head looming up indistinctly in the darkness. But of the great rock which dominates the harbour, its glory and its pride, no glimpse can be obtained, for a south-easter is blowing and the heavy cloud known as the table-cloth hangs low overT able Mountain. Even as I look, solitary occupant of the deck at that early hour for the sea has played rough and tumble through the night with the good ship and her passengers another squall drives up, obH terating harbour lights, shipping, and the dim outline of the land. The ship, full of turmoil and strange noises, lurches uneasily at her anchor. The tugs are alongside and the mails are already going overboard.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
