Excerpt from Land and Sea Tales One single, simple reason in all cases, They fell because their people were not fit. Now, though your Body be mis-shapen, blind, Lame, feverish, lacking substance, power or skill, Certain it is that men can school the Mind To school the sickliest Body to her Will As many have done, whose glory blazes still Like mighty fires in meanest lanterns lit Wherefore, we pray the crippled, weak and ill Be fit - be fit! In mind at first be fit! And, though your Spirit seem uncouth or small, Stubborn as clay or shifting as the sand.

Excerpt from Twixt Land and Sea Tales Ever since the sun rose I had been looking ahead. The ship glided gently in smooth water. After a sixty day's passage I was anxious to make my landfall, a fertile and beautiful island of the tropics. The more enthusiastic of its inhabitants delight in describing it as the "Pearl of the Ocean." Well, let us call it the "Pearl." It's a good name. A pearl distilling much sweetness upon the world. This is only a way of telling you that first-rate sugar-cane is grown there. All the population of the Pearl lives for it and by it. Sugar is their daily bread, as it were. And I was coming to them for a cargo of sugar in the hope of the crop having been good and of the freights being high. Mr. Burns, my chief mate, made out the land first; and very soon I became entranced by this blue, pinnacled apparition, almost transparent against the light of the sky, a mere emanation, the astral body of an island risen to greet me from afar. It is a rare phenomenon, such a sight of the Pearl at sixty miles off. And I wondered half seriously whether it was a good omen, whether what would meet me in that island would be as luckily exceptional as this beautiful, dreamlike vision so very few seamen have been privileged to behold.

Excerpt from Tales of the Sea and Land After a while, the vessel reached the Island of Jamaica; but Bill would not lg'. Any one have the child. He went on shore and got some milk for him, and bought some pieces of linen; and, as he had little to do, he spent his time in making them into shirts. He also made a little bed, and filled it with soft feathers. Now, I have said before that Bill was a rough sailor. He had a hand almost as hard as flint, and a voice that sounded as rough as a tin horn. But his hard hand never was rough to the little creature that he had in charge; and his voice, when he spoke to it, was softened into kindness.
