makes her useless for a short voyage.
On a long voyage she is much too refined

She sets tho steward and cook by the ears,
foments quarrels among the sailors aud
hirts with the mate when no should be in

Do you wish TO go on shore, there is al
ways the maid TO consider. She cannot,
she protests, be left alone unprotected on
the ship. But II you choose to take her
that is another matter. Then there is ev-
cry reason why she must remain on board,
Her clothes are too thick or too thin, or her
head aches and she cannot bear the sun, or
her tight boots (they always wear boots "a
