Excerpt from Fish And Other Salt Water TalesNever mind where this ship was bound. She belonged to a firm of fine, jovial English men - most agreeable persons, with an amia ble weakness for overloading and underman ning their vessels. It's easy enough. The Plimsoll's mark that the Lloyds people put on a ship can't talk, and a little thing like jam ming cargo in till the mark is way under water doesn't make the craft look particularly bad when she's lying at her berth in a slip where there are no waves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
