in text. There is some archaic and variable
spelling, which has been preserved as printed.

The following amendments have also been made:

Page 3--repeated book title deleted.

Page 77--omitted word 'to' added after row--"... jumped
into two small wherries in order to row to the lugger."

Page 156--pedlers amended to peddlers--"There are
tinkers, tailors, haymakers, peddlers, fiddlers, ..."

Page 178--Huzza amended to Huzzah--""... Huzzah for
Fortunatus Wright!""

Page 226--envolle amended to envole--""Sapristi!
L'oiseau s'est envole.""

Page 248--manoever amended to manoeuver--"... had simply
followed my manoeuver of wearing around under easy
helm ..."

Illustrations have been moved slightly where necessary so that they
are not in the middle of a paragraph. The frontispiece and advertising
matter have been moved to follow the title page.
