About this book

Down South, or Yacht Adventure in Florida, is by Oliver Optic. The narrator says they could cross the bar only when the water was above half-tide, and that this was an important question. The narrator says the nautical almanac showed it would be half-tide at nine o'clock in the forenoon, and that it was not yet seven in the morning by the corrected time.

A pilot came on board, and his first question was as to the draft of water, which the narrator gave as nine feet. The narrator says with energy “Take him down to the boat! Obey your order, Mr. Washburn!” and adds “Take the knife with you, and deliver it to the police.” A man named Cornwood begs Captain Garningham to consider that he is doing a very great injustice to this boy, who, he is certain, intended no harm to anybody. The narrator replies that he does not believe in the harmless intentions of a man who can draw a bowie-knife on another.
