Excerpt from Harper's Camping and Scouting: An Outdoor Guide for American Boys Possibly you know the lure Of the sea, and love the sting ing beat of the salt spray crusting your face and lips. Have you ever sat all day on the rail of a dancing sloop, and beat to windward, your lee rail awash, and then come to anchor in your safe harbor, hung out your riding light, and sat down to a meal that a king might envy? You Sit back in lazy contentment, listening to the water lapping about the bows, the slap of the halyards against the mast, the cry of some distant water fowl, and you feel good all through.
