Still, I have been back to the Arctic regions once since then; but it was not with a red-faced mate to torment me. "I did not feel like coming up to Rockdale yet, being very much ashamed, not having made anything, as I could see, by running away.
"Now, my little listeners," spoke the Captain, "you must know that what I am going to tell you occurred to me at a very early period of my life, when I was a mere boy; in fact, the adventures which I shall now relate to you were the first I ever had.
