Description

Excerpt from Etchings of a Whaling Cruise: With Notes of a Sojourn on the Island of Zanzibar, and a Brief History of the Whale Fishery, in Its Past and Present Condition

Within a few years past, the condition of our merchant seamen has excited very general interest. It is gratifying to perceive that the efforts made in their behalf by the hu mane and the liberal have been productive of the happiest results. Facilities for their moral and intellectual improve ment are now within their reach; attention is paid to their comfort; the difference between oppression and discipline is beginning to be observed and cases of insubordination and mutiny will soon be comparatively of rare occurrence.
