Présentation de l'éditeur
Presidential election. For two months already the West-bound packets had been ferrying home the same nervous crowds, in haste lest there should be no room for them later. Crisis was in the air, and all were hurrying back to safeguard their own interests and those of the country they all adore. The whistle blew; I jumped in; the train started; a practical friend on the platform had the happy inspiration of hurling in my luggage in a volley after me, and I was on the way to A merica. The run to Liverpool is very much the same, I noticed, when you are going to America as when you are only going to Liverpool. I expect it is different coming back. But at the end of the journey, after the Mersey Tunnel, it suddenly begins to be very impressive. A long silent wharves, across dingy streets, through dim warehouses, under huge dead walls crawled the train. I was now cut off from my country for good, and had got to go on with it, for nobody surely could ever have found the way back through that vast deserted maze. Then all at once we drew up in the bare Eiverside. station, and next moment appeared the quay and the giant Campania, the largest ship in the world. The Campania is very like any other ship seen through a powerful magnify ing-glass. The great length over 600 feet and the comparatively narrow beam destroy any beauty in the lines. The vessel recalls A lice in Wonderland when she ate the elongating mushroom.
