Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Autobiography and Memorials of Captain Obadiah Congar: For Fifty Years Mariner and Shipmaster From the Port of New York
The labor expended in this process, if not always the same in kind, has been little less in amount than that of creating entire a similar book. But the work has been lightened by the hope that its result may now and then profita bly occupy a captain's lonely hours at sea, or a sailor's dog-watch and Sunday, and that it may minister healthful stimulus and nutrition to a circle of minds on the Shore also, earnestly longing after holiness.
