Overall, Euphemia Among The Pelicans is a charming and entertaining story with an important message about environmental conservation.Our second night on the river was tinged with incident. We had come to anchor near a small settlement, and our craft had been moored to a rude wharf. About the middle of the night a wind-storm arose, and Euphemia and I were awakened by the bumping of the boat against the wharf-posts. Through the open end of the cabin I could see that the night was very dark, and I began to consider the question whether or not it would be necessary for me to get up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
