To tell a colored roustabout twenty or thirty years ago to fetch a certain cargo, labeled with the name of a particular boat or consignee, would have been to draw from the individual addressed a genuine old-time plantation grin, with some caustic observation about lack of school facilities in the days when the roustabout ought to have been studying the "three Rs," but was not.
It was a notice, that the consignee should not have overlooked, when Nicholas Nichols met with the hurt, as the anchor was leaving the bottom I never knew an accident happen at such a time and no evil come of it. Then, had we a warning with the old man in the boat; besides the never-failing ill luck of sending the pilot violently out of the ship.
Inclosed is an introductory letter to , which I request you to deliver, after you have made the necessary arrangements with Mr. for the consignment of the ship and cargo, or after the circumstance aforementioned has compelled you to look elsewhere for a consignee.
D'Aunay was cruising off Cape Sable, in the hope of intercepting her, and searched the vessel, but Madame La Tour was safely concealed in the hold, and the vessel was allowed to go on to Boston. On her arrival there, Madame La Tour brought an action against the master and consignee for a breach of contract, and succeeded in obtaining a judgment in her favour for two thousand pounds.
At Hamburg all his inquiries proved to be useless. The consignee of the Canadian Transportation Company knew nothing about the passengers of the "Cynthia," and could only give them information about the freight, which they had already obtained. Erik had been in Stockholm six months when they learned that the ex-director, Mr.

Salee itself is composed chiefly of mean houses, with very narrow dirty steep streets; but some of the dwellings in the higher part of the town are of greater pretensions as to size and architectural beauty. Our consignee in this place was an Armenian merchant, who presented a great contrast in outward appearance to Mynheer Von Donk.
"Why, Sir, the fact is," the clerk replied, with an air of interest and importance, "it is M. M. 's wedding-day. He marries this morning the Signorina G , and I am sure you would not molest him with business on such an occasion as that." "But my fifty thousand dollars!" persisted the consignee, "and why have they not been paid?"
As the captain in his letter had, inadvertently I trust, mentioned that he had put "Mr. Wallingford, his third mate," in charge, I got no invitation to dinner from the consignee; though the affair of the capture under Dungeness found its way into the papers, via Deal, I have always thought, with the usual caption of "Yankee Trick." Yankee trick!
"'We, that's the OFFICE, you know," continued Uncle Ben with a heavy assumption of business formality, "wot we've received per several hands and consignee we that's YOU and ME, Roop we goes down to Sacramento to inquire into the standin' of a certing party, as per invoice, and ter see ter see ter negotiate you know, ter find out if she's married or di-vorced," he concluded quickly, as if abandoning for the moment his business manner in consideration of Rupert's inexperience.
