fifty years an exporter In Boston, operating
a line of clipper ships. With
every ship came some curiosity. One j
day a ship returned from Central
America, and the master showed
Mackintosh an elongated yellow fruit
that grew In clusters. Mackintosh
regarded It warily; the
ship was half-full of such cargo, and
his Scotch prudence was aroused.
Even after he had eaten one and pronounced
It delicious, he was not certain
they could be sold.
"What do you call themf he Inquired
of the skipper,
"The natives call them bananas,"
the sailor answered.
Mackintosh put them up for sale,
and a few curiosity seekers bought a
bunch or so. He harangued their
quality and tried to impress upon the
Bostonians the detlclousness of the
fruit. But his venture failed.
