(an obstruction long since removed) a
common sailor, a son of Ham so
intensely black that he must needs
have been a native born African . of the unadulterate best blood of Ham.
A symmetric barbaric figure much above the
average height. The two ends of a
gay silk handerchief thrown loose
about the neck danced upon the
displayed ebony of his chest; in his
ears were big hoops of gold, and
a Highland Scotch bonnet with a tartan band set off his shapely
head.
It was a rather hot noon in July; and
his handsome face, lustrius with
perspiration, beamed with barbaric good humor.
