Hello!
"Some fifty miles below the Inner Station we came upon a hut of reeds, an inclined and melancholy pole, with the unrecognisable tatters of what had been a flag of some sort flying form it, and a neatly stacked wood-pile. This was unexpected" -Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
The boat was based on the Roi des Belges, the steamboat that Conrad captained on the Congo in the late 19th Century.
