Sinossi
Excerpt from Afloat on the Pacific: Or Notes of Three Years Life at Sea, Comprising Sketches of People
I forgot my supper in the contemplation, and in the enjoyment of new thoughts and feelings might have forgotten my own existence, had I not been reminded of it by an occasional pitch of the vessel which caused an unpleasant sensation. Thus warned to retire, I sought my bunk, and after long lying awake and listening to the measured thump of the engines and the splash of the waves against the sides, I fell asleep.
