Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe storm ruined my plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot by seasickness. I'd come prepared for the worst, knowing how rough it could get on a sailing ship of the Nineteenth Century. I outrode the storm easily, stowed away in the hold. Not even the breakage of some of the 1700 barrels of alcohol carried as a cargo bothered me although the stench was terrific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut on the morning of 25 November 1872, the first mate, Albert Richardson sent the second mate, Andrew Gilling below with two of the German seamen to assay the storm damage. They found me and I was hauled aloft before Captain Briggs as a stowaway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaptain Briggs of the \u003cem\u003eMary Celeste\u003c\/em\u003e eyed my strange clothing with deep curiosity, but his interest was obviously more concerned with my unauthorized presence.

It's about-\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'd timed it close. I was interrupted by the click of the chronithon as it time-transferred my daily ration. I opened the cabinet and offered a bite of twenty-second century breakfast to the captain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49402909950256,"sku":"BDjqpf","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jqpf-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773613628","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jqpf","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
