It is an eight days' voyage by steamship from San Francisco to Honolulu, giving the traveller ample time to familiarize himself with many peculiarities of this waste of waters.

A whale is not a fish; it differs materially from the finny tribe, and can as surely be drowned as can a man.
Life is too short, at longest, and is filled with too practical requirements, for the most of mankind to try to master or even familiarize themselves with all the sciences of which the world has knowledge.
Tingley came back at dark and said he had succeeded in getting Jerry's case put over until a lawyer could familiarize himself with the details.
