Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Man in the Crow´s Nest: And Other Talks to Children I Awakened One Night Tempted to think anxious thoughts. It was very dark; and you know how much worse things seem in the dark. I was on a big ship, lying in a narrow bed which they call a berth. All day long we had seen nothing but water and sky; not even a ship in sight save our own, as it went plunging through the waves. And now the black night had settled down. The fog-whistle was blowing; and fog at sea always means danger of collision. I could hear the throb of the engines and the whistling of the wind. It seemed to be whistling for other winds to come for a picnic; and when the winds have a picnic at sea it means a storm. As I thought of my friends far away and how deep the water was under the ship, I felt a little heartsick.
