Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ocean Tragedy 'Sir Wilfrid Monson, sir, ' exclaimed my man. It was half-past ten o'clock at night, and I was in my lodgings in Bury Street, St. James, slippers on feet, a pipe of tobacco in my hand, seltzer and brandy at my elbow, and on my knees the 'Sun' newspaper, the chief evening sheet of the times. 'Sir Wilfrid Monson, sir.' My cousin! thought I, starting, and looking round at my man with a fancy in mo for a moment that he had got the wrong name. 'Show him in.' Sir Wilfrid entered in a sort of swift headlong way, full of nervousness and passion, as was to be seen easily enough; and then he came to a dead stop with a wild look round the room, as if to make sure that I was alone, and a frowning stare at my servant, who was lingering a moment on the threshold as though suddenly surprised out of his habits of prompt sleek attendance by a fit of astonishment. He stood about six feet high; he had a slight stoop, and was something awkward in arms and legs; yet you were sensible of tho indefinable quality of breeding in him the moment your eye took in his form and face, uncommon as both were. He was forty-four years of age at this time, and looked fifty. His hair was long and plentiful, but of an iron grey streaked with soft white. He had a protruding under-lip, and a nose which might have been broken for the irregularity of its outline, with unusually high-cut nostrils. His eyes were large, short-sighted, and grey, luminous and earnest, but with a tremulous lid that seemed to put a quivering into their expression that was a hint in its way of cunning and mental weakness. He had a broad, intellectual forehead, brilliantly white teeth, high cheek bones, a large heavy chin, rounding into a most delicately moulded throat.

Book The Ocean Plague

    Book Details:
  • Author : Robert Whyte
  • Publisher : Books Ulster
  • Release : 2019-04-09
  • ISBN : 9781910375372
  • Pages : 126 pages

Download or read book The Ocean Plague written by Robert Whyte and published by Books Ulster. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ocean Plague, first published in 1848, is an account of a voyage from Dublin to Quebec on an Irish emigrant ship. In it we read of the horrific symptoms of disease that so many of the passengers and members of the crew succumbed to. We hear of the decimation of families, the orphaning of children, the practicalities of disposing of the dead, and the callous indifference of many to the suffering of others. And, soberingly, the conditions aboard the vessel in question were without doubt better than those that many Irish emigrants had to endure in other ships. For here, at least, was a captain and his wife who showed genuine concern for those in their care and did what little they could to alleviate the distress of the sick and bereaved. The author was evidently a man of reasonable means and good education. He had his own berth and dined with the ship's captain and his wife. However, although Robert Whyte did not have to suffer the same deprivation and misery as his compatriots in the hold, his view of the many dreadful events that befell them is seen through a lens of religious compassion and social conscience, and his diary is nevertheless invaluable eyewitness testimony to the hardship and tragedy experienced on board an Irish 'famine ship' in the mid-Nineteenth Century.
