Excerpt from Little Journeys to Alaska and Canada: For Intermediate and Upper Grades Ours really begins to seem like a life on the ocean wave, doesn't it? What long and delightful voy ages we have had! Instead of going to sea for a rest, as most people do, we really have had to leave the ocean for a change. What a happy voyage that was across the Pacific to Hawaii, and then to the Philip pines and wonderful Japan and China! But do you remember how sick we all were when we crossed that choppy China Sea, and how, at first, we wished we were at home, and then we didn't care whether we ever lived to get home? Now, being well rested, we may have forgotten all that. But, wouldn't it be more than delightful to have a long ocean voyage, if we knew that every day on the steamer would be one of pleasure, and that no horrid sea-sickness would ever keep us in our cabins, and make us long for home? Then, let us pack our grips and start for that most wonderful of all our possessions, Alaska. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
