These India Docks are like no other docks in the world. About their gates your find the scum of the world’s worst countries; all the peoples of the delirious Pacific of whom you have read and dreamed – Arab, Hindoo, Malayan, Chink, Jap, South Sea Islander – a mere catalogue of the names is a romance. Here are pace and high adventure; the tang of the East, fusion of blood and race and creed.
Burke/Nights, 1915
