Excerpt from A Madcap Cruise "It strikes me," said Jerrold Taberman, "that we are booked for everlasting fame, win or lose. We'll either sail down the ages as a brace of heroes, or as the most egregious pair of donkeys that ever botched a job." "Well, Jerry," returned his companion, smiling, "you've as much to do with making the thing a success as I have. I hope you realize the responsibility." The young men chuckled in concert at the thought of all that was involved in this remark, although they looked, not at each other, but out over the sea. It was early twilight in the last week of the month of May. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The story begins by introducing us to two young men, Jerrold Taberman and John Castleport, who are standing on a jetty in East Penobscot Bay in the early twilight of May. They are both in their early twenties and that is all they share in common, for everything else about them is as different as it could be. Taberman is short, thickset, and has fair hair, while Castleport is tall and dark with a striking face and keen brown eyes.

Excerpt from The Gates of the Caribbean: The Story of a Great White Fleet Caribbean Cruise It is one of the compensations of modern life that a voyage is no longer, as the ironic French peasant was accustomed to describe it, "a little death." So far indeed have we come from the times when a traveler was looked upon as a creature of mysterious mental moods, strangely afflicted with a desire to go somewhere, that the possession of a wardrobe trunk is now of no more significance than a camera or a bag of golf clubs. It is indeed the thing to do, not so much from the selfish motive of improving one's mind, as for the finer fancy of seeing what the world is like and, speaking internationally, calling on the neighbors. But going south, heading for one of the Gates of that alluring congeries of romance and modernity we call the Caribbean, our emotions have certain special qualities apart from those engendered by any ordinary trip abroad. Without entering into a lengthy disquisition as to the merits of our educational system, it must be conceded that when we speak of foreign parts we think readily of Europe, just as the Englishman, when America is mentioned, thinks at once of the United States. And so when we start southward, embarked at length upon our expedition to what we may conveniently call Latin-America, we have, quite possibly, a new curiosity, a vague notion of doing something romantic, and behind that, a few fantastic illusions as to where we are going and what we are about to see. And it is to be noted at the outset that the enterprise is carried out under the more or less normal conditions of a comfortable human existence. It may conduce to the happiness of some to become microscopic units in a vessel so enormous that one may cross the ocean in it without ever seeing it, or spend many hours losing one's way in its interminable corridors. On the other hand, it is in accordance with average temperaments to find this vessel of ours, just and gracile in her modelling, spacious and modestly beautiful in her garnitures, an adequate substitute for the houses and country clubs we have left amid the wintery landscape at home. That same wintery landscape, however, will be already receding by the time we have adjusted our personalities to the novel environment of shipboard life. It is a favorite recreation of witty folk to make disparaging remarks concerning the habits of those who travel by sea.
