Excerpt from West India Pickles: Diary of a Cruise Through the West Indies in the Yacht Josephine, (New York Yacht Club)
HE following pages pretend to no liter ary merit. They are merely the tran script of a daily jotting down of the scenes and occurrences Of Our cruise, and were in tended, not for publication, but to serve as an aid to those pleasures Of memory which are truly the very best part Of a traveller’s enjoy ment.
My friend, Mr. Carleton, having waded through the Original smudgy pencilled notes, in an unguarded moment expressed a desire to publish them, and I only hope he will not regret his generous imprudence.
