(Note: The last few pages has the text in the gutter along with part of the pages torn in the gutter, making some of the text hard to read. Near the end of this issue, the top corners of pages 13-16 (page 2573-2576) are torn to the point where parts of a sketch's title and text of sketches and departments are missing.)

| First Sentence: |
It was during the war of 1812, when our Yankee sailors proved themselves fully a match for the self-styled rulers of the ocean, that circumstances led me to take passage on board one of our large merchantmen, in which I embarked what little property I possessed. (New York Weekly edition) When I was a small boy my father, who had been a great traveler, used to amuse us on winter nights telling of some of his adventures. (Good News edition) |
| Last Sentence: |
A tinge of red on the water, as our ship glided past, was all that was seen of the doomed captain, and thus passed away into oblivion one of England's proud crafts, that had done a vast amount of injury to our commerce. (Good News edition) |
