Présentation de l'éditeur
The invasion was made in a ship. The ship was bigger in her own estimation than her measurements would justify, and in this I agreed with her. But to come down to bald fafts, she was of registered tonnage 2.65, and of yacht measurement 4tons which means that she was 26 feet long over all, 19 feet upon the water-line, and 6.6 feet wide. I have reason to be thankful that she was rather under-canvassed, for otherwise I might not have returned from my voyage. To these particulars I might add that she was slooprigged, and that she carried a centre-board, which when in use extended her draft from 3feet to 6feet, that she had a cabin designed to sleep two, but which has upon occasions echoed the snores of four, and also that her name was Mave %hoe. When I announced to my uninitiated friends that I was bent upon this voyage, they immediately became uncomplimentary, and when I added that I intended to do it alone, they became frankly rude. One of them, a brother-painter, with a large moustache and an argumentative manner, went so far as to say that I was a blithering idiot. All this served only to make me think less of my friends.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
