Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rodman the Boat-Steerer, and Other Stories The Shmare was a five-beat ship, and, judging from the appearance of her decks, which were very clean, an unlucky one. She had been out for over a year, and three months had passed since the last fish had been killed. That was of? The coast of Chile, and she was now cruising westward and north ward towards the eastern coast of New Guinea, where Captain Harvey Lucy, the master, expected to make up for the persistent ill-luck that had attended him so far.
