Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Over the Summer Sea
The captain of the Empress was a fellow big and burly, His head was like a bullet, and his hair was brown and curly, And he had a horrid fashion of getting up SO early That he always yawned at dinner. For seamanship and courage he was very often quoted, And many resolutions by his passengers were voted Yet, perhaps, the noble captain more especially was noted For the yarns he spun at dinner.
