Spielhagen, Friedrich: The German Pioneers. v1. 19 Aug 2014

Friedrich Spielhagen (February 24, 1829 – February 25, 1911) was a German novelist, literary theorist and translator. He tried a number of careers in his early 20s, but at 25 began writing and translating. His best known novel is Sturmflut and his novel In Reih' und Glied was quite successful in Russia.

Excerpt
On a certain forenoon in the month of April, 1758, there was unusual activity in the harbor of New York. In spite of the disagreeable weather—which had now already lasted two days, with dense fogs and drizzling rain, and even then, from low, gray clouds, was drenching the multitude—there stood upon the quay dense groups of people looking at a large Dutch three-master, which had already lain a couple of days in the roadstead, and now was swinging at anchor in the troubled water nearer shore.
“The gentlemen would have done better to have remained at home,” said a little man, referring to two broad-shouldered farmers, who stood near. “I will eat my tailor’s goose and not be called Samuel Squenz if, out of the skin-covered skeletons which have thus far passed here on their way to the state-house to take the oath of allegiance to our king—whom may God bless—they can select a single ordinary farmhand.”
