seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the
extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder
warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water

and avenues—north, east, south, and west. Yet here they all unite. Tell

those ships attract them thither?
