#5509--FINDING ONE'S WAY ON THE SEA
by Jack London
reprinted from Harper's Weekly (ca. 1920)
The "Snark" started on her long voyage without a navigator. We beat out through the Golden Gate on April 23, and headed for the Hawaiian Islands, twenty-one hundred sea miles away as the sea-gull flies. And the outcome was our justification. We arrived. And we arrived, you shall see . . . that is, without any trouble to amount to anything.
