Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Voyaging in Wild Seas: A Narrative of the Voyage of the ´Snark´ in the Years 1907-1908 It is too good to keep any longer, this joy of living that is beginning to make itself felt aboard the Snark. For an hour I´ve been dangling my feet over the edge of the life-boat lashed on the deck to windward, watching the purple water swash in and out of the lee scuppers. Our midday meal is finished, concocted by Martin and myself (Martin has been and still is a little worse off from seasickness than I), and we are all comfortably lazy. And speaking of the joy of living as felt aboard the Snark, it is a matter of degree. Martin has not yet come to feel it; and Tochigi, our alleged cabin-boy, has succumbed to the effects of mal de mer with the characteristic abandon of the Asiatic. He can´t or thinks he can´t lift a finger, and as there are many fingers necessarily to be lifted in the management of the ship, he is very much needed in our midst. But the water is purple, and I am recovering from my seasickness, which seemed quite violent to me, but was in reality a mild attack. Roscoe and Bert have had no nausea, but a heavy lassitude has taken the place of ordinary seasickness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
