Excerpt from The Voice in the RiceThe night came on monstrously rough and Windy, but clear. I remem ber how when the S. S. Major Pickins rolled, the stars flew past my port like streams of sparks from the smokestack of a locomotive. You weren't safe in your berth, or out of it. We had on board a number of horses, with their grooms, bound for New York from various Winter resorts in the South, and during a particularly violent lurch of the vessel one of these poor beasts fell and splintered its leg, and could be heard screaming with the pain, like a lost soul, until mercifully put to death. The passengers were mostly servants of Northern families, and whether they were more sick than fright ened, or more frightened than Sick, was a question for a more experienced seafarer than myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
