time war had broken out between Eng.
land and Spain. John Whites services
were needed for fghting purposes. and
he was unable to return until three
years later-that Is to say, In 1891.
What happened on his return Is mar.
rated In his own logbook. He SAYS:
I'VE let fall our grapnel. very neere

and call. and afterward with many
familiar English tunes and songs; but
there was no answer"
