Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Marine Officer, or Sketches of Service, Vol. 1 of 2
My mother was remarkably kind to the poor, and whenever any of her indigent neigh bours were sick, she went to see them her self, and in cases where it was desirable, sent them daily something comfortable from our own table - invariably helping them before her self, and sending one of her own children with it. How often have I been despatched to carry the hot plates with the napkin over them.
