Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Robin Day, Vol. 1 of 2 My introduction into the world was of itself suf ficient to establish my claim to pre-eminence in mis fortune; for, from all I was ever able to learn, instead of making my appearance in the usual way, I came ashore, one stormy night in September, in the year 1796, Upon the coast of New Jersey, washed up by the sea, like a kingocrab; with this advantage, how ever, that I had for my shell, or cradle, the battered hull of a Yankee schooner, which, if it did not keep me as dry and snug as was desirable, preserved me, at least, from being swallowed up by the raging bil lows. In other words, 1 was cast ashore in a wreck name unknown, as the gazettes say, from which' I was taken, a puny little bantling of some twelve or fifteen months old, half famished and half drowned, the only living creature, save two ducks that were soaking in a c00p, and a broken-backed eat in the forecastle, that escaped.
