Excerpt from Bound for Australia on Board the Orient: A Passenger's Log The work claims no literary excellence; it was written amid the babel of sounds incident to saloon life at sea, and the author is too far away to revise it as it passes through the press. It is simply a record of facts accompanied by a medley of re ections. It is written in a religious spirit. The pious man finds much to test his faith and patience on the voyage, but his principles become doubly dear to him, as he sees where the lack of them leads others, and he realizes how powerful they are to sustain him amid new scenes and dangers.
