Excerpt from A Bunch of Rope Yarns
The yarns. Then after knotting the rope yarns together, the spinning jenny was secured on the t0p gallant forecastle, where I tugged at the bit of rope which was the motive power for revolving the spinning wheel. An able seaman rubbed the twirling ropeyarns with a piece of old canvas, thereby making spunyarn enough for the voyage. The remembrance of the oaths, ends and kicks from a cruel boat swain, on finding some of the ropeyarns poorly knotted, makes me ofier in fear and trembling this literary Bunch of Rope Yarns. Still I hope that my reader may find some of the yarns knotted in seamanlike fashion.
