Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Narrative of a Trip to the Bahamas
Our crew consisted cf captain, mate, cook, and three ordinary sea men, with several extra men picked up along our route as occasion required. It is wise to have on board rather more men than are likely to be needed as physically they are far from strong. This applies especially to the white inhabitants of Abac'o; for a diet of fruit, salt meat, and rice has left them poor workers even when they are aroused from their tropical lethargy. It is possible that in many respects a negro crew would be more useful.
