transatlantic crossing in,
Voyagers Unafraid,
"Row, Sailor, Row", by Irvin Anthony, pub. 1930, A.L.Burt Co.
read an excerpt:-
"The one quality both men had to possess was the infinite patience to carry on, to settle to a routine within their strength, and take things as they came without worry. That ability was the gift of their heredity. No more stubborn, steady-minded sailors than the Scandinavian seamen have ever wrung a living from the sea. It was all in a day's work, no matter what happened. No trace of excited flurry, of neurotic anxiety, haunted their
voyage. If it blew, well it would stop in time, if the weather were kind, they did not yield to the desire for a spurt. There is no use in pulling a heavily-laden boat harder than a certain gait . Backs tire, arms stiffen, breath stabs. Pace outwares all haste. The Fox had to reach her goal, and that lay three thousand miles over her nose".
