Section 86. The London Docks. II

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