Book Description
Excerpt from The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine These two friends were not educated women. They made frequent mistakes in their grammar, and a good deal of Middle States provincialism showed itself in their pronunciation and expres sions. But, although they brought many of their rural ideas to sea with them, they possessed a large share of that common sense which is available anywhere, and they frequently made use of it in a manner which was very amusing to me. I think, also, that they found in me a quarry of informa tion concerning nautical matters, foreign coun tries, and mv own afiairs, the working of which helped to make us very good ship friends.
