farvoyages upon the great deep.Nothing could be moreappropriate than that this Newcomen Address shoulddeal with the life story of Farrell Lines Incorporatedand zwith the many important contributions it has madeto the economic development of Africa South of Saharaand its groeing importance to the foreign  \ntrade of America.  \n2  \n## AFRICAN PLANET AT DAR ES SALAAM\n\n“A(life-story'implies to me a blending of the com-monplace and the romantic,of hard work and adventure,of planning and of the unexpected.My subject matteris admirably suited to these combinations.  \n“Day by day what we at Farrell Lines do,as in mostbusiness,is almost commonplace.Ships sail on lonelyvoyages.For most of their lives afloat,they epitomizethe routine,the dull,the unspectacular.But look atshipping in the perspective of past and future:Few occu-pations offer the high hopes,the excitement,and theromance of a steamship line!  \n“The blending of the commonplace and the romanticis carried even further in our Company's experience,be-cause the history of Farrell Lines is closely related tothe history of Africa after I925.Here is a land of con-trasts,if ever there was one:high adventure and deepmystery;primitive past and opening opportunity;nature in its most pristine simplicity and man in his mostelaborate complexity.”  \n—JAMES A.FARRELL,JR.  \nSea Lanes South of Sahara  \nThe Story
