First lines

Much has been written by novelists and others of Merchant Jack's life on shipboard, both from the point of view of the preponderating squalor and hardship which still pervades it and from that of the now rare romance that comes in his way. But of his life during the brief spells in port and of the efforts made by kind and generous people to put a little brightness into it, and to bring home to him the fact that there are some folk at least who do not regard him altogether as a pariah and an outcast, very seldom, so quietly is the work carried on, do we hear anything at all. I purpose in this article attempting, so far as concerns our own port of Sydney, to supply the deficiency.
