“No one who is old enough to remember the glorious spectacle of a full-rigged American clipper
ship getting under full sail outside of the headlands of a harbor, after having been cast off by
the tug, is likely to have forgotten the sight : the white sails dropping from the yards, being sheeted
home, and swelling out to the fresh wind, until a cloud of canvas sparkled in the sun; the strong
and graceful life which the ship took on under their power ; the foam curling up under the bow
with her forward rush ; the great plain of the ocean, with all its free airs and salt scents, beckoning to
life and adventure seaward round the world. To this, to one on board or near enough to hear, will
be added the indefinable and mysterious charm of the sailors' chants, as they haul in the bowline,
and tauten up the tacks and sheets by a pull requiring unison of effort ; and the cadence, at once
long-drawn and vigorous, fills the air with a magic voice of the wind and the sea. It has the melopoa-
ism, if it may be so called, of the cadence of nature, and takes its note from the solitude and melancholy
of the world, never more impressive than upon the vast plain of the sea.”
