An Effective Proposal From a Seafaring Memoir
In 1916 I sailed aboard the tramp steamer Mark Andrews when a strange ship appeared off Rio de Janeiro. After a cautious boarding revealed a flooded bow, I suspected a German raider had struck her. We salvaged twenty sailors and the captured captain, plus the captain's daughter. I later wooed her with the photograph I had taken, and to win her father's consent I agreed to quit the sea and join a coffee planter's business in the United States and Canada.
