There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by
|
|
wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs--commerce surrounds it with
|
|
her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme
|
|
downtown is the battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and
|
|
cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land.
|
|
Look at the crowds of water-gazers there.
