Abstract
THESE experiences of a public school man, who at San Francisco turned himself into an ordinary seaman and “signed on for two pounds a month for a passage round the Horn, calling at Queenstown for orders, either for the British Isles or Continent,” will interest most boys. Probably few adult readers will get to the end of the volume, but Mr. Lubbock can congratulate himself that most boys will read all he has written and pronounce it “good.”
