Quotation from: The Cruise of the Snark

Written by: Jack London


"Come on for a sail," I called below to Charmian. "But put on your
swimming suit. It's going to be wet."


It wasn't real. It was a dream. That canoe slid over the water
like a streak of silver. I climbed out on the outrigger and
supplied the weight to hold her down, while Tehei (pronounced
Tayhayee) supplied the nerve. He, too, in the puffs, climbed part
way out on the outrigger, at the same time steering with both hands
on a large paddle and holding the mainsheet with his foot.
