Many of these patriotic pilgrims were about to undertake their first
voyage on blue water, nor could they foresee how much piteous woe can
be caused by the uneasy motion of a ship. The _Corsair_ was a lively
boat, as the saying is, for her hull was not moulded like a fat-bellied
merchantman, and she lifted to the seas with the graceful stride of a
Yankee clipper. And so when the transports plodded out into the wide,
wet Atlantic, not a few of the bold mariners of the _Corsair_ devoutly
wished they had enlisted in the Army. They were not disgraced, however,
for many a hard-shell of the regular Navy has confessed to the pangs
of seasickness. The nervous thoughts of submarines were forgotten in
wrestling with the immediate tribulation. The great adventure was not
what it had been cracked up to be.
