Section 86. THE LONDON DOCKS. II.

On⁠[1] another floor of the same building may⁠[2] be found bundles of Pimento⁠[3] sticks and Malacca⁠[4] canes, a great store of mother-of-pearl, a heap of delicate⁠[5], richly-tinted ear-shells⁠[6], and a quantity of ivory. Here are elephants’ teeth, some⁠[7] of which are larger than bricks and weigh fourteen pounds. Passing⁠[8] out of this building, we find⁠[9] ourselves in an enormous shed with little black boards, hung⁠[10] at intervals, and bearing the names of vessels. Beneath these boards are⁠[11] goods lying ready for shipment, and these are at least as varied⁠[12] as the imports⁠[13]. Here are pickles⁠[14], blacking, a⁠[15] cartload or so of bricks, and scores⁠[16] of anvils. There⁠[17] are church-bells, a chest of drawers, a rocking-horse, a mangle, and boxes, bales, and barrels innumerable⁠[18].—‘The Globe’ Newspaper.
