Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
the traffic of the great city went on in the deepening night upon the sleepless river. we looked on, waiting patiently—there was nothing else to do till the end of the flood. it was only after a long silence, when he said, in a hesitating voice, \i suppose you fellows remember i did once turn fresh - water sailor for a bit,\ we knew we were fated, before the ebb began to run, to hear one of marlows tales.

The passage uses "we" and "I", which are first - person pronouns. First - person point of view is when the narrator is a character in the story and refers to themselves as "I" or includes themselves in a group as "we". In this case, the narrator is part of the group ("we looked on") and there is also an individual "I" (the person who says "I suppose you fellows remember...").
