Excerpt from A Sailor-Boy's Log-Book From Portsmouth to the Peiho This book is what it purports to be: the work of one who entered the navy as a boy, went through the rudiments with more or less of satisfaction 3 sailed to China, where he smelt powder in the capture of Can ton and the disastrous attempt to take the Taku forts; then visited Japan, and returned home a smart young topman. He kept a log, as he calls it, during his term of service; and my editing has consisted, for the most part, in persuading him to copy his log twice over, with such advice as to suppression, elucidation, co herence, and consistency as was required for the pre sentation of the narrative in a readable form. Apart from this, I thought it best that the young fellow, who has some capability for telling a story, should tell it in his own way; especially as a boys Opinions, in their total disregard of consequences, charm us by their freshness and sincerity.
