ROUND THE HORN BEFORE THE
MAST. BY A. Basil Lubbock. D. r.
Dutton e. Co.
OF the fact that the world loves
books of the sea the enduring fame
of Richard Henry Dana's Two Years
Before the Mast" bears witness, the
story of which Clark Russell once said
that every time he saw the American
flag he regretted that Dana's tale had
been born under it. A. Basil Lubbock's
journal of one-half such voyage as
Dana made, which he tells in Round
the Horn Before the Mast" seems
fated for some such life as the great
est sea tale in our literature: for eigh-
teen years after its first publication
in England, with four editions and five
reprintings to its credit, this book now
makes its first appearance in this
country.
The keeper Of the journal which
forms the text of this narrative is OBJ
viously the adventuring type of Eng
lishman. for the reader learns in his
pages that the writer had been in the
Klondike and prospecting in Vancou-
yer before he shipped aboard the four
masted bark Royalshire in July, 1899,
in San Francisco. as a foremast hand
for the voyage to England. and
The New York herald., 1921-01-02

through q Scant reference on a later
page one learns that Lubbock served
in the Boer war. The writer is also
an artist and several academic marine
drawings illustrate the voyage and its
incidents.
To readers of maritime literature
the general outlines of such a voyage,
told almost log fashion, are now thor
miliar labors of a green hand; the d.
versified elements in the crew; the
considerable amount of discussion of
insufficient food and the nauseous
liquids served out as tea and coffee:
the long. pleasant days in the. Pacific:
the terrifying hardships of the pas
sage around the Horn; the doldrums
of the western ocean: and the inevi-
table head on" gales as the end of
the voyage drags near All these are
in Mr.. Lubbock's book. set down SIM
charm in which complaints have little
place. The writer was evidently fas-
cinated by the sailors chanteys, for
he quotes practically all the best
known ones at one time or another in
his journal.
Just why he found so much pleas
ure in the hard work, lack of food
physical injuries and sheer hardship
off the Horn that came to him is best
shown by his appreciation of the joy
that comes from doing well the job at
hand. The reader catches his philos-
ophy to the full in this passage: THE
steering of a big square-rigged sailing
ship is, | think, most fascinating
job. :. In solitude / leant
against the wheel and meditated, gaz-
ing over the foam-flecked sea and
drinking in the unspeakable grandeur
of the great deep. Before me rose
the bellying sails. and from forward
the sounds of toll and sweat came
floating aft. sharp commands, the
chorus of chantey, cries from aloft,
the rattle of blocks. the stamps of
many feet, the Tapping, cracking
sound of a sail being sheeted home:
whilst around me, but for the swirl of
the water alongside. all was silent.
Whilst they worked, the ship was in
my hands: / steered her. l showed her
the way to go, kept her from pranc-
ing away to one side or the other:
with inexorablc hand grasping the
spokes held her on her course, ever
and anon casting an eye to windward."

The second volume of the collected
essays of George Edward Woodberry

once asked the late Madison
Cawein for a definition of poetry.
Poetry" he said. lis the metrical
or rhythmical expression Of the emo
tions occasioned by the sight or the
choly and the noble in nature and in
man."
Many years later, in talking to Ed
win Arlington Robinson, l repeated
this definition and asked Mr.. Robinson
what he thought of it. He was silent
for some time, and I could see that he
was going over Cawein's words care
fully in his mind.
1T is one Of the best and truest
definitions of poetry I ever heard
he replied at length, "but should say
that poetry is a language that tells us
through more or less emotional re-
action something that cannot be said"
Certainly Mr. Robinson's own work
lives up to that definition. he is an
interpreter of life. and tells us through
the medium OF his poetry truths about
men and women that are uncannily
clairvoyant in their understanding of
human nature. There are lines in his
best work that illumine the crannies Of
the soul like torches and give the
reader glimpse for a brief instant of
unsupported secrets. He possesses
this gift more abundantly than any
other poet writing in this country to-
day. With few subtle words he can
paint full length portrait of human
being that is startlingly lifelike.
Mr.. Robinson's ability to say much
in little is demonstrated in his latest
volume of poems, THE Three Tavl
