 Many boys clamour for a sea life, will not settle down to anything ashore1, in spite of the pleading of parents, the warnings of wisdom, or the doleful experiences of friends. Occasionally at schools there breaks out a sort of epidemic2 of "going to sea," for which there is apparently3 no proximate cause, but which rages fiercely for a time, carrying off such high-spirited youths as can prevail upon those responsible for them to agree to their making a trial of a seafaring life. All this is quite as it should be, of course, in order that Britain may continue to rule the waves; but many a parent, whose affectionate projects for the future of his offspring are thus rudely shattered, bitterly resents what he naturally considers to be unaccountable folly4.
 
In my own case matters were quite otherwise. I belonged to the ignoble5 company of the unwanted. In spite of hard usage, scanty6 food, and overwork, I ridiculously persisted in living, until, at the approach of my twelfth year, an eligible7 opening presented itself for me to go to sea. Being under no delusions8 whatever as to the prospect9 that awaited me, since I had known intimately those who had experienced all the vicissitudes10 of a sailor's life, I was not unduly11 elated at the idea. Nevertheless, food and shelter were objects peculiarly hard of attainment
