About this Item

111pp. carbon copy of a manuscript on sheets 10� x 8 inches, brad-bound along top edge. Approximately 20,500 words. First leaf torn along old creases, with no loss to text. Several leaves chipped along edges. Some light dampstaining along bottom edge. Last two leaves mutilated. Fair. Young man's journal of a trip from New York to Melbourne, Australia. He records a relatively calm and uneventful passage, lasting just over three months. Though dreadfully seasick for the first week or two, he eventually gains his sea legs and stomach and enjoys an easy, if lengthy, voyage. His activities aboard ship include fishing and shooting at birds with the captain, as well as learning navigation and astronomy from the mate. Seller Inventory # WRCAM40477
