Description

Excerpt from The Spanish Main: Or Thirty Days on the Caribbean Was born in the City of New York, and spent nearly the whole of the early part of my life in that great metropolis. In my school-boy days it was my infinite delight to roam and linger along the docks and watch the stately Ships as they came and went, or as they lay at their piers discharging or taking in cargo. As I gazed at the tapering masts and spars and saw the sailors running up and down the shrouds and ratlins like squirrels, or clinging to the cross-yards like spiders on a wall, I wished that I could be a sailor. But as I grew older, and by education came to know the hardships and privations of a sailor's life as well as its perils, and more especially as I reflected upon his necessitated seclusion from the society of those he dearly loves, and which tends so much toward making up the sum of human happiness, I was easily persuaded to relinquish the desire to adopt a seafaring life.
