RKS Literature: “Two Years Before the Mast”: The Captain Speaks!

“Now my men, we have begun a long voyage. If we get along well together, we shall have a comfortable time; if we don’t, we shall have hell afloat. All you’ve got to do is obey your orders and do your duty like men-then you’ll fare well enough;-if you don’t, you’ll fare hard enough,-I can tell you that. If we pull together you’ll find me a clever fellow; if we don’t, you’ll find me a bloody rascal.”

R.H. Dana, Jr. “Two Years Before the Mast” 1937
