[Gutenberg 46390] • There She Blows! Or, The Log of the Arethusa

Excerpt from There She Blows! Or the Log of the Arethusa

The story embodied in these pages is not to be regarded as a mere yarn. It is rather a series of illustrated sketches of actual life on the ocean, made up of real incidents and introducing for the most part real characters, many of which will be recognized. Indeed the author may truly say that in writing these Leaves, he felt himself simply telling a story - not making one.
