Excerpt from Wilson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Vol. 3: Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative About three years ago, a mixed party left Newcastle, in a steamer, on a pleasure excursion to the islands. Amongst the company, there was a man of a weather - beaten but happy and intelligent countenance, whose age seemed to be at least sixty, and whose general appearance and manners indicated that he was an old seaman, and perhaps had been a purser or a sailing - master in the navy, or the com mander of a merchantman, who had made enough to enable him to cast anchor ashore, in peace, quiet, and plenty, for the remainder of his days. His shrewdness, his knowledge, and his humour, soon rendered him a favourite with the company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
