Transcriber's Notes
The only intentional changes to the text were as follows where the following typographical or printer's errors were corrected:
Page 25: deleted hyphen in 'cocoa-nut' (the slabs of cocoanut ice)
Page 149: added missing quotation mark at end of the paragraph (...my great courage and astute generalship.')
Page 247: Missing close single quote added (...to make just a little pudding for himself.')
