Excerpt from Under Western Skies: Life Pictures From MemoryThe Sea-gull was not supposed to be an ocean-going craft, but she was admirably suited to my friend's requirements, and there was plenty of scope to exercise her talents in the numberless bewitching coves, bays, and reaches to be found in the grand expanse of water from the Heads to Parramatta.The Sea-gull was a dandy little steam yacht, most commodious and comfortable for her size. And one may judge of the care bestowed upon her by the fact that each guest was invited to remove his, or her, boots, and don a pair of canvas slippers for fear that the immaculate decks should be injured by rough soles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
