Text Appearing Before Image:

The Narratives that follow are plain, true,and unvarnished ; and if the hand that guided the rudder inthe hour of misfortune was prevented, by the physical elements,from steering a correct course, nothing has prevented truth, thatmoral magnet of the mind, from invariably guiding the survivorin his narration.
