I think its better with him talking to another man Sinbad
who is impoverished, it is almost like he is talking to the man he could have
been.
Oh, a sailor we should have a lot in common, first sentence “I
had inherited considerable wealth from my parents…” maybe in the next story.
Why didn’t the captain didn’t recognize him?
I really felt the opening paragraph of the Second Voyage, I
would come back to Oklahoma on leave and within 2 weeks I was ready to get back
to my Ship.
Pulling into a new liberty port is amazing but missing the
boat and being left behind was probably my greatest fear.
I feel like this could all be an elaborate tale to avoid
getting in trouble for missing the boat. I could probably adapt the story to a
more modern-day US Navy sailor.
I like to imagine that the savages in the third story were
just monkeys that liked to steal ships.
He met the captain from his second journey… the more I read,
the more I think he is just a very talented grifter.
You think after all this he would stop sailing.
