Excerpt from the book...By some means, needless to record here, I found myself, not so many yearsago, "on the beach" at Melbourne, in Australia.To be on the beach is not an uncommon occurrence for a sailor in any partof the world; but, since the question is suggested, I will say that I wasnot a very dissipated young fellow of twenty-five, for up to that time Ihad never even tasted rum in any form, although I had followed the seafor seven years.
