Thomas Brown was about to take a short sea voyage. Thomas hated the sea and all that's in it with a 22 carat hatred, for he always suffered horribly when on the briny ocean, but be had to go, and there was no help for it. This time, however, be determined to put a new seasickness cure theory into practice, and no sooner had be got on board than he stowed himself away in his bunk and slept like a top till early next morning. He felt in perfect trim and went up on deck beaming with delight. “I’ve found a certain cure for seasickness, captain,” be announced to that individual. “Go to your bunk as soon as you get aboard and don’t show your nose out of it until you are near your destination. It worked like a charm with me. I haven’t had a qualm all night. Why, what are you laughing at?” “Oh, nothing,” said the captain, “only the machinery broke down jdst as we were starting, and we haven’t moved out of dock all night. The other passengers were transferred, but we didn’t know you were aboard.”
