First words |
It seem almost presumptuous for one whose longest continuous sea passages have not much exceeded a thousand miles to express an opinion upon a great voyage consisting of many passages each several thousand miles in length.
Introduction, by Claud Worth. This is a reprint of the second edition in which, as the result of further experience, I expressed opinions differing from those in the first edition.
Preface to the third edition, by Conor O Brien. There are, according to the tetrahedral view of the earth, four oceans; but of these three only are generally necessary to navigation, for the Arctic Ocean is only used by Polar bears and Polar explorers, and in any case is not navigable.

But as for the cheering of crowds, the playing of bands, the making of speeches, the procession to Dublin headed by Neptune and Amphitrite in an allegorical car, these things have nothing to do with the voyage, but show an appreciation of it for which I am deeply thankful; it is good to have sailed round the world in order to be at home again.
