Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Around South America: With a Sample Case Two days out from New York, on a Ward Line Steamer, bound for Havana, some years ago, one of the lady passengers came to me and said: "This is my first ocean trip and I am looking for ´thrills.´ Will I have any before getting back home, do you think?" Being anxious to please the ladies at all times I promised to see what could be done for her. Ten days later I helped her escape from a wrecked ship in the midst of a stormy sea, and she seemed to think the effort overdone. I left New York hoping for adventures worth telling about and got crowded a bit. There was a prospect of going to the summit of the Corderillos, but not coming down in a hand car. A bit of rough weather was certain but did not count on bucking the greatest storm ever experienced on the Pacific Coast, and that too in a ship of only one thousand tons register. It was also necessary for me to get on intimate terms with cattle and sheep in order to secure data on these important South American industries, but I surely got a jolt when informed I had become infected with anthrax. On more than one occasion friends have called me a "blooming goat," but did not consider myself close enough akin to the Animal Kingdom to get their disease.
