The Cradle Of The Deep

1929. Lowell's narrative of her exciting story about her sea voyage and exploration of jungles in Central America. The book She ain't any water rat, ma'm! She's a girl flower, she is, with the tropic heavens fer a hothouse, and the scoldin' of the storm fer her when she's bad. An' she knows all that we sailormen know-all the good-'cause no one of us ever let her hear nothin' else.
