It was hard work eating, on board that foul ship and thinking of the foul hands which had made the food ready; but going without eating would have been harder, for I had the healthy appetite of a sound young fellow three-and-twenty years old.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
