Out in the Pool certain other boats caught the eye

 

“Out in the Pool certain other boats caught the eye… each carried a bright fire amidships, in a brazier, beside a man, two small barrels of beer, and a very large handbell. The men were purlmen, Grandfather Nat told me, selling hot beer in the cold mornings — to the men on the colliers, or on any other craft thereabout.” — Arthur Morrison, The Hole In The Wall, 1902
