It seemed very reasonable advice. Aunt Emma came in the afternoon. IT SEEMED VERY REASONABLE ADVICE AUNT EMMA CAME IN THE AFTERNOON
h in the train!--but B. would not hear of it. I hope the weather does not change. FRIDAY, 23RD Early Rising.--Ballast should be Stowed Away in the Hold before Putting to Sea.--Annoying Interference of Providence in Matters that it Does Not Understand.--A Socialistic Society.--B. Misjudges Me.--An Uninteresting Anecdote.--We Lay in Ballast.--A Moderate Sailor.--A Playful Boat. I got up very early this morning. I do not know why I got up early. We do not start till eight o'clock this evening. But I don't regret it--the getting up early I mean. It is a change. I got everybody else up too, and we all had breakfast at seven. I made a very good lunch. One of those seafaring men said to me once: "Now, if ever you are going a short passage, and are at all nervous, you lay in a good load. It's a good load in the hold what steadies the ship. It's them half-empty cruisers as goes a-rollin' and a-pitchin' and a-heavin' all over the place, with their stern up'ards half the time. You lay in ballast.
