Subtitle: Cauning Cook, the Steamboat Scullion
First Sentence: With the exception of the negro deck-hands, probably the most insignificant and least thought about personage on board the magnificent Mississippi steamer Hiawatha was one of the kitchen scullions, an awkward, unprepossessing lad named Cauning Cook. (Good News edition)
Last Sentence: The owners of the Hiawatha made him a splendid present, sufficient to keep her in comfort for the balance of her days; and steadily promoted the ex-scullion until he finally became one of the most prominent pilots on the Mississippi. (Good News edition)
