Sailing Alone Around The World Summary
| Already a seasoned old salt when he undertook the challenge, Slocum became the first person to sail around the world alone. In 1895 he left Boston in the 37' Spray, returning in 1898. This is the quintessential around-the-world sailing book that everyone turns to when they decide to do it, including Jack London. Courage, daring, self-reliance, wit -- Slocum had them all. |

But to my great delight they got her into a berth, and the neuralgia left me then, or was forgotten. The captain of the steamer, like a true seaman, kept his word, and his agent, Mr. Collishaw handed me on the very next day the price of the lost anchor and chain, with something over for anxiety of mind. I remember that he offered me twelve pounds at once; but my lucky number being thirteen, we made the amount thirteen pounds, which squared all accounts. |
