For Zion's Sake: A Tale of Real Life (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, Jan 23, 2018 - 266 pages Excerpt from For Zion's Sake: A Tale of Real Life The curtain of night had fallen over the city, and the docks and warehouses, which a few hours before had presented scenes of bustling activity along the water front, were almost deserted. The piers and water were merged in the gathering gloom, until their fading outlines were lost in the darkness, and there was no sound save the constant wash of the waves against the piling, and the occasional whistling of the November wind. The pier of the Continental Steamship Company, North River, had the same deserted appearance as the others. There were the usual large piles of freight on the dock, comprising both incoming and outgoing cargo, certain kinds of more perishable nature being protected by canvas coverings. Boxes and barrels, of various description were ranged in rows or piled in tiers about the platform. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
