Description
Excerpt from Granite Crags
The Paloma 1 is a beautiful little ship, carrying a crowd of Whitest sails; she is exquisitely clean, her ship''s com pany consist of singularly quiet, gentle Swedes, Germans, and Rarotongans. Our cabins are very comfortable; my only fellow-passengers are most friendly and agreeable. We carry a cargo of oranges, gathered green in the orange-groves of Tahiti, but which have ripened during this long voyage, and we have done our best to diminish their number.
We have had lovely weather, though too often becalmed for days together, or else drifting aimlessly with the cur rents, or just kept moving by the faintest, softest breeze, which has generally carried us in the wrong direction. I never more fully realised the weariness of the wandering fields of barren foam.
