Excerpt from South Sea Sketches: A Narrative This narrative of South Sea life gives an accurate account of the incidents of a residence in South America, and of the observations made by the writer, of the countries she visited. The Sketches were originally written in epistolary form, and were addressed by the author to her elder children, who had remained in the United States, while she accompanied her husband, Admiral Dahlgren, when he was in command of the South Pacific squadron. The present tense was used because it was desired to give a vivid and graphic description of all that transpired. These Sketches are now published for the first time under cover, and in book form.
