Seasick laughter on voyage sparks tale of Arthur Forbes
On a voyage, Arthur Forbes pretends seasickness to tease Mr. Otis Gill who mocks him. Forbes then causes Gill’s real seasickness by sitting opposite a forward porthole as waves roll, stunning the table and prompting steward intervention. The ship’s crew jokes that such a table exists for the “Gill type.”
