Final run down

On the second day, the scene took on a different appearance. As the day progressed, a sense of finality prevaded. The hold was quickly getting emptier and all knew that the whole development was winding down.
The skipper now getting anxious that an evening deadline would be met,with the high tide being suitable for being outward - bound again. A quick turn - around being crucial to his continued sucess as a man of punctuallaty.
The sense of diversion and conviviality of late was now waneing and people gradually dispearsed.The last cart loaded the last remaining bit of coal. The whole operation was now completed and homes replinished for the year ahead. A tradition if not a culture once again prevailed.
A sad sense of immenint departure excisted among the remaining observers who wished to bid farewell to the sturdy puffer.
Quite soon she was to build up a head of steam and head for the open sea. Now lightened, with smoke bealching from her funnel,she proudly progressed.
Yes, she was a much respected representative of progress and industry in not just a few of the west coast islands.
