Description
Julian Street wrote this humorous book, published with illustrations by May Wilson Preston. Its title puns on being bored aboard ship: a long ocean voyage, with its spotters, deck games, and fellow passengers, can try even a cheerful traveller. One caption jokes about a charming spotter, and a wife's twelve lost dresses.
Street, author of Paris a la Carte and My Enemy the Motor, writes light, observant prose about travel manners and shipboard life. His sketches poke fun at tourists, stewards, and himself. Readers who enjoy gentle travel humour will find this short book a pleasant companion for a voyage of their own.
