Trading in the South Sea
"The great Pacific is the scene of our story. On a beautiful morning,many years ago, a little schooner might have been seen floating, light and graceful as a seamew, on the breast of the slumbering ocean. She was one of those low, black-hulled vessels, with raking, taper masts,trimly-cut sails, and elegant form, which we are accustomed to associate with the idea of a yacht or a pirate."
