“Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea? Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out of sight of land?

Sitting in his hall, he will see me sail into the bay, and he will run down to meet me on the shore; he will wade into the sea and pull my boat onto the sand and welcome me as his wayfaring brother. Why will he do this? Because he too has suffered, and he knows...HE KNOWS...Is that not good news?” ThinkingKnowsWellsRunningTodayDiesKnow HowSeaBrotherNewsSittingDiedWelcomeBoatSandHallsShoreKnow MeSailGood NewsWade Author:Stephen R.
