“Now if you love the southern sea
And pleasant summer weather;
Come, let us mount this gallant ship,
And sail away together.”

I DEDICATE THIS MY FIRST STORY TO MY MOST INDULGENT CRITIC, THE ONE WHO WILL HAVE MOST PATIENCE WITH ITS IMPERFECTIONS,—MY BELOVED MOTHER, Maria Kisborough Freeman Saunders OF HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA.
Miss Marshall Saunders’s first published work was issued in England in 1889, under the title, “My Spanish Sailor.” In the present volume, while not materially altering the plot or action, Miss Saunders has added a number of new incidents, and, as indicated by the change in title, has made some minor changes in the time and scene of the original story.
