Read the following excerpt from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad: I had a white companion, too, not a bad chap, but rather too fleshy and with the
exasperating habit of fainting on the hot hillsides, miles away from the least bit of
shade and water. Annoying, you know, to hold your own coat like a parasol over a
man's head while he is coming to. I couldn't help asking him once what he meant by
coming there at all. To make money, of course. What do you think?" he said,
scornfully. Then he got fever, and had to be carried in a hammock slung under a pole.
As he weighed sixteen stone I had no end of rows with the carriers. They jibbed, ran
away, sneaked off with their loads in the night-quite a mutiny. So, one evening. I
made a speech in English with gestures, not one of which was lost to the sixty pairs of
eyes before me, and the next morning I started the hammock off in front all right. An
hour afterwards I came upon the whole concern wrecked in a bush-man, hammock,
groans, blankets, horrors. The heavy pole had skinned his poor nose. He was very
anxious for me to kill somebody, but there wasn't the shadow of a carrier near.
