Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A West Pointer With the Boers
ON the fifth day of December, 1894, I sailed on the City of Berlin from New York. We started in a storm, continued in a storm, and landed in a mud bank off the Isle of Wight, just below the Needles. This caused quite a commotion among the passengers, and all seemed inclined to. Make the last stand at those points of the deck nearest to the life-boats. By reversing the screws, the old death-trap, after a few hours' hard work, succeeded in releasing itself, and we were again on the high sea.
