Excerpt from The Wreck of the Homeward-Bound, or the Boat of Mercy
When we reflect how' many thousands of vessels annually leave our ports, and return from distant countries, while thousands more, engaged in home trade, are continually sweeping around our shores, we must feel it a matter of no surprise that shipwrecks occur so frequently; but, at the same time, it is a matter of extreme - regret that the results are oftentimes so deplorable.
