when marlow's boat stopped to pick up the stacked woodpile, there was a warning above it. what did marlow find so ridiculous about this particular warnin?
when marlow finds the wood pile
when marlow finds the wood pile
The message is "Wood for you. Hurry up. Approach cautiously." I think Marlow finds this note ironic because this country is more dangerous than approaching a pile of wood. There are dangers around every corner where "anything can be done in this country."
