[Gutenberg 58624] • Sailor and beachcomber / Confessions of a life at sea, in Australia, and amid the islands of the Pacific

Excerpt from Sailor and Beachcomber, Confessions of a Life at Sea, in Australia, and Amid the Islands of the Pacific

All I say of the South Sea missionaries is said in good-fellowship. Some of the best men are mission aries and sacrifice years of their life in a hopeless quest. So bear with the honesty of one who has fought side by side with the best and worst, and face to face with the grim realities of existence. For the present I hope someone will like what I have written in this, my book - one more ambitious plunge of a failure.
