There remained on departing ships, until the last boat left
them, representatives of various Christian persuasions. F.
W. Leighton, leaving Liverpool on the clipper ship Bloomer*
in 1853, wrote of the presence of 'a pale man with thin visage
dressed in a shabby black surtout buttoned to the chin'.
He
is standing by some parcels of books which we soon hear are
tracts destined for the use of the passengers ... We learn
that the habit of [his] useful Society
is to put a number of tracts in all vessels leaving the port of Liverpool thus
they give food for the mind and instruction for eternity.'
