Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I runga i te Nellie, i whakanohoia ki te Awa o Thames tata ki Gravesend, ka korero a Charles Marlow ki ona hoa kaipuke mo nga huihuinga i arahi ki tana whakataunga hei rangatira mo te kaipuke rere rere mo te kamupene tauhokohoko iori. I a ia e tamariki ana, i tino miharo a Marlow ki "nga waahi kore" i runga i nga mahere, ina koa ko te mea nui rawa atu, i te wa i tipu ake ai ia, kaore ano kia kore noa, engari ka huri hei "waahi pouri" (Conrad 10). Heoi, i noho tonu he awa nui, "he rite ki te nakahi nui e kore e hurihia, me tona upoko i roto i te moana, ko tona tinana i te okiokinga e piko ana i runga i te whenua nui me tona hiku i ngaro i roto i te hohonu o te whenua" (Conrad 10). Ko te ahua o tenei awa i runga i te mahere i miharo ki a Marlow "rite ki te nakahi ki te manu" (Conrad 10). I te whakaaro me te mea "kaore au e haere ki te pokapū o te whenua, kei te haere ahau ki te pokapū o te whenua", ka eke a Marlow ki runga i tetahi kaipuke parani French e haere ana ki te takutai o Awherika, ka haere ki roto (Conrad 18). I muri i nga ra e toru tekau neke atu, ka eke te kaipuke ki te nohoanga o te kawanatanga i te waha o te awa nui. Ko Marlow, e rua rau maero pea te tawhiti, ka eke ki runga i tētahi kaipuke iti e rere ana i te moana, e rangatira ana tētahi Huitene. E toru tekau ma rima maero te tawhiti atu i a ia i runga i te awa ki te wahi kei reira te teihana o tana kamupene. Kei te haere tonu ngā mahi i te rori tereina, e pā ana ki te nekehanga o ngā toka ki ngā pūoho. Ka uru a Marlow ki tetahi raorao kuiti ki te hikoi i te atarangi i raro i nga rakau, ka kitea ia i roto i "te porohita pouri o etahi Inferno": he ki tonu te waahi i nga Awherika mate e mahi ana i te rori tereina a kei te tatari inaianei ki o raatau mate, ko o ratau tinana mate kua rite ki te hau (Conrad 24<unk>25). Ka kite a Marlow i te whakaaturanga "he mea whakamataku" (Conrad 26).  Patai: he aha te korero a Kapene Charles Mallow ki ona hoa kaipuke?
