About the Book

IT WAS the middle of a bright tropical afternoon that we made good our escape from the bay.The vessel we sought lay with her main-topsail aback about a league from the land, and was the onlyobject that broke the broad expanse of the ocean.On approaching, she turned out to be a small, slatternly-looking craft, her hull and spars a dingyblack, rigging all slack and bleached nearly white, and everything denoting an ill state of affairsaboard. The four boats hanging from her sides proclaimed her a whaler. Leaning carelessly over thebulwarks were the sailors, wild, haggard-looking fellows in Scotch caps and faded blue frocks; someof them with cheeks of a mottled bronze, to which sickness soon changes the rich berry-brown of aseaman's complexion in the tropics.On the quarter-deck was one whom I took for the chief mate. He wore a broad-brimmedPanama hat, and his spy-glass was levelled as we advanced.When we came alongside, a low cry ran fore and aft the deck, and everybody gazed at us withinquiring eyes. And well they might. To say nothing of the savage boat's crew, panting withexcitement, all gesture and vociferation, my own appearance was calculated to excite curiosity. Arobe of the native cloth was thrown over my shoulders, my hair and beard were uncut, and Ibetrayed other evidences of my recent adventure. Immediately on gaining the deck, they beset me onall sides with questions, the half of which I could not answer, so incessantly were they put.As an instance of the curious coincidences which often befall the sailor, I must here mentionthat two countenances before me were familiar. One was that of an old man-of-war's-man, whoseacquaintance I had made in Rio de Janeiro, at which place touched the ship in which I sailed fromhome. The other was a young man whom, four years previous, I had frequently met in a sailorboarding-house in Liverpool. I remembered parting with him at Prince's Dock Gates, in the midstof a swarm of police-officers, trackmen, stevedores, beggars, and the like. And here we wereagain: -years had rolled by, many a league of ocean had been traversed, and we were throwntogether under circumstances which almost made me doubt my own existence.But a few moments passed ere I was sent for into the cabin by the captain.He was quite a young man, pale and slender, more like a sickly counting-house clerk than a bluffsea-captain. Bidding me be seated, he ordered the steward to hand me a glass of Pisco. In the state Iwas, this stimulus almost made me delirious; so that of all I then went on to relate concerning myresidence on the island I can scarcely remember a word. After this I was asked whether I desired to"ship"; of course I said yes; that is, if he would allow me to enter for one cruise, engaging todischarge me, if I so desired, at the next port. In this way men are frequently shipped on boardwhalemen in the South Seas. My stipulation was acceded to, and the ship's articles handed me tosign
