Quotation from: The Cruise of the Snark

Written by: Jack London


It was not a mere boat, not a mere canoe, but a sailing machine.
And the man in it sailed it by his weight and his nerve--principally
by the latter. I watched the canoe beat up from leeward and run in
toward the village, its sole occupant far out on the outrigger and
luffing up and spilling the wind in the puffs.


"Well, I know one thing," I announced; "I don't leave Raiatea till I
have a ride in that canoe."
