Scope and Contents

Herval is perplexed about the double commission Blanc has given him. He responded to the first; Blanc's places are almost reserved, at least his names are registered. In reply to the second question: according to the authority of two men, the steamer in question is a good ship on a good sea; it would suffer in a heavy sea. However, this steamer has had no accident any more than any other ship Blanc could take. At Liverpool the Cunard line has been established since 1839, and has had no disaster. The Collins line is equally excellent but has had a collision at sea. "L'artic!" :: VI-1-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
