Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World

By: Twain, Mark

"Ours was a reasonably comfortable ship, with the customary sea-going fare-plenty of good food furnished by the Deity and cooked by the devil. The discipline observable on board was perhaps as good as it is anywhere in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The ship was not very well arranged for tropical service; but that is nothing, for this is the rule for ships which ply in the tropics. She had an over-supply of cockroaches, but this is also the rule with ships doing business in the summer seas-at least such as have been long in service. Our young cap-tain was a very handsome man, tall and perfectly formed, the very figure to show up a smart uni-form‟s finest effects."
