Messenger to London and the Germanic voyage tale
A fragmentary item describes a young messenger named Eugene Banger preparing to sail with the Germanic on July 27. He will ride aboard with nearly fifty fellow messengers and be presented to the captain before departure to Test the speed of transatlantic errands. The scene features cheers from family and passengers as he departs for New York, with the boy’s unique ticket and swift delivery expected to mark the journey.
