Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"'--comrades--
Old playmates on new seas--
When as we traded orpiment
Among the savages--
A thousand leagues to south'ard
And thirty years removed--
They knew not noble Valdez,
But me they knew and loved.


"'Then they that found good liquor
They drank it not alone,
And they that found fair plunder,
They told us every one,
Behind our chosen islands
Or secret shoals between,
When, walty from far voyage,
We gathered to careen.
