AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tales of an infant rescued by a ship of British sailors in the Atlantic Ocean, the love they come to feel for him in caring for him, and his sudden death which grieves them all. Pleasantly written; counterpoints the square unaccustomed fingers of the rough sailors and the feelings the baby arouses. (PB)
