Synopsis
Excerpt from Deck and Port; Or Incidents of a Cruise in the United States Frigate Congress to California: With Sketches of Rio Janeiro, Valparaiso, Lima, Honolulu, and San Francisco
ON joining the United States frigate Con gress, fitting for sea, at Norfolk, and destined to the Pacific, I commenced a journal, in which I sketched down the incidents of each day, as they occurred. It was more a whim of the hour, than any purpose connected with the public press. It was a diverting experiment on the monotony of a sea-life; was continued because it had been begun - and the present volume is the result. The streamlet' flows from gathered drops.
