Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Bunch of Rope Yarns
The yarns. Then after knotting the rope yarns together, the spinning jenny was secured on the t0p gallant forecastle, where I tugged at the bit of rope which was the motive power for revolving the spinning wheel. An able seaman rubbed the twirling ropeyarns with a piece of old canvas, thereby making spunyarn enough for the voyage. The remembrance of the oaths, ends and kicks from a cruel boat swain, on finding some of the ropeyarns poorly knotted, makes me ofier in fear and trembling this literary Bunch of Rope Yarns. Still I hope that my reader may find some of the yarns knotted in seamanlike fashion.

Excerpt from A Bunch of Rope Yarns
A Noble woman has passed from earthy and great was her reception when she crossed the Harbor Bar.
I speak of Mary Bennett Holden, a young woman of leisure, who, for two years chose to employ her time in uplifting work among seamen, and made upon them the impression of a sweet, earnest soul.
She was much of her time at the Sailors Haven, joining with the sailors' in their games and other forms of amusement, and was regarded by all as their personal friend. Her greatest joy was when contributing in some way to a sailors welfare, whose honest, and other good qualities she learned to admire. Her delight was to take the trimmer from the stoke hold, dressed in his rough clothing and show him the educational features of the City.
