He was a man of above fifty, but\u003cbr\u003elooked under forty in consequence of the healthful vigour of his frame,\u003cbr\u003ethe freshness of his saltwater face, and the blackness of his shaggy\u003cbr\u003ehair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough his gait, pilot-cloth coat, and pocketed hands proclaimed him a\u003cbr\u003esailor, there were one or two contradictory points about him.  A huge\u003cbr\u003ebeard and moustache savoured more of the diggings than the deep, and a\u003cbr\u003ebrown wide-awake with a prodigiously broad brim suggested the backwoods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePausing at the head of one of those narrow lanes which--running down\u003cbr\u003ebetween warehouses, filthy little rag and bone shops, and low\u003cbr\u003epoverty-stricken dwellings--appear to terminate their career, not\u003cbr\u003eunwillingly, in the Thames, the sailor gazed before him with nautical\u003cbr\u003eearnestness for a few seconds, then glanced at the corner house for a\u003cbr\u003ename; found no name; cast his eyes up to the strip of blue sky overhead,\u003cbr\u003eas if for inspiration; obtained none; planted his legs wide apart as if\u003cbr\u003ehe had observed a squall coming, and expected the lane to lurch\u003cbr\u003eheavily--wrinkled his eyebrows, and pursed his lips.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lost yer bearin's, capp'n?\" exclaimed a shrill pert voice at his side.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082680811760,"sku":"2940013313460","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013313460_p0.jpg?v=1763579590","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013313460","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
