Excerpt from Peterkin:
"And meanwhile how fared the world with the object of their remarks? As the ship passed into the lower bay strange emotions filled the hearts of the jumble of passengers in its steerage.

A right denied to many of them in their native land which they had left be hind them in the wake of the good ship which had brought them safely across the vast waste of waters..."
