gangway

At the end of a long walk to the gangway, a group of forty reporters waited, firing questions and demanded interviews.

Once again we were the last people up the gangway and about five minutes after the last person was onboard the engines started up.

“Ali Khan” was about to guide the ekka along the rough gangway when Mohammed Rasul interfered.

The slings were affixed, the order to hoist was given by the mate, who had descended from the poop, and stood near the gangway.

We followed him up the companion onto the deck, and joined the crowd that awaited the releasing gangway.

Accordingly Mr. George and Rollo went aft again, and approached the gangway on the side where they supposed the boats would come.

So Rollo marched up to the gangway, and was in a moment whirled down into the boat, as the others had been.
