Excerpt from Tales of the Sea and Land I am going to relate the story of a sailor-boy, for the purpose of giving my young friends some idea of a sailor's life, and with a hope, also, of interesting them all in that class of persons who follow the sea as a profession. These men may seem strange rough, and uncouth, in their manners, but we should consider that many of them are brought up without instruction, and that most of them are habitually separated from all the means by which other people are saved from evil. I hope our present tale will show that sailors are not only men, but that often they have tender and kind feelings, and noble qualities. The little boy, of whom I am going to give an account, was born on board a ship called the Dolphin. His father and mother.
