Landing the Abstract Express, at low water, 1844. Creator: Unknown

Landing the Abstract Express, at low water, 1844. Postal service between Britain and India - transferring the mail from a steamship to shore at Folkestone:if it be low-water, the weather rough, and the time night, a scene of exciting adventure ensues. A galley - a long clear-water boat, manned by some eight or more stout fellows, under Mr. Faulkners command - is launched from the beach, and sent off to the approaching vessel...a number of fishermen are usually posted with flambeaus to light them through the breakers. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
