Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections of a Visit to England, France and Germany, Made in 1862, and to Germany in 1885
Proud was the head, now at rest 'neath thy waves; lovely the form in thy fathomless caves, Oh, whis pering sea, oh, merciless sea. A few days after, twin babies were born in the steerage, and the ladies in the cabin called on the mother every day, bring ing some little delicacy. The babies were very pretty, and we named them Ocean and Oceana, because they were children of the sea, rocked by the wild waves on the bosom of the stormy Atlantic. When the steamer arrived at Queenstown, they, with their pa rents, went ashore, and the children of the sea were lost to us forever.
