Excerpt
I HAVE been induced to undertake the narrative of the adventures I met with during the eleven months that I was absent from England, and I hope that I shall succeed in interesting even those boys who have never heard either my name or the name of the good ship aboard which I spent so many pleasant and—it must be confessed—extremely unpleasant days. To be sure, a fuss was made about this same ship, the ‘ Great Orion,’ and her voyage; but as more than two years have passed since the newspapers published their paragraphs respecting our adventures, I dare say much of what I may write about will be quite new to English boys, who as a rule, unlike their fathers, can manage to eat hearty breakfasts without having first read the morning paper.
