Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bab Haskins in Southern Seas The "Wild Irishman" really existed, and said and did nearly all the things attributed to him, except the losing of his ship. But, "to give the devil his due," as the saying is, it should be added: No finer, neater or more accomplished gentleman could be wished for than was this same man in the intervals when he was free from the influence of strong drink. The name of Arthur Friend has not been changed from that used in real life. Nothing but good is said of him. And I hope if he sees this humble work he will communicate and renew the friendship we had when we chummed around New York together "looking for a ship." Bab and his family are straight fiction. The professor and the sailmaker are not. Coghill, even to his name, has been reproduced, as has "Three Finger Jack." Gustav is a composite character evolved from several persons of his race. The statement of facts about Pitcairn Island - modified by comparatively recent newspaper reports - are those gleaned during my last visit to the place.
