Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to the Moon Defign, I bound my felf to one yames Anderfon, Ma fier of the Runner, a Vefi'el of about-7 5 Tun, (tho' the cu/tom-haufe had it but 70) belonging to Dahlin, in the Year 1718. This I did againit the Will of my Mother, my Father being dead a little before, of which I have many Times lince repented, and oh fe'rv'd, that thofe who will not be dlreéted by their Parents, meet with ill Succefs in their Undertakings. On the 6th of 7une 1718, we fet fail for the Ca naries, being loaden with Beef, Butter, Cheefe, Candles and Soap, and in a few Hours got clear of the Land. But here I cannot but mention the fad Condition my Mother was in at our parting; the ac companied me to the Side of the Vcfl'el, and there, withwith abundance of Tears, reprefented to me the Dan ers oi' the Sea but finding it. Was too late to deram me', {he fwoon'd in my Arms. I' then began to wilh my felf free, and could not forbear {bedding fome Tears. The Captain who was prefent at this Interview, being afraid my Mother's Tears would move him fo much as to part with me, like a good Man that wou'd avoid Temptation, went down to his Gabbin, and gave Orders to bring me aboard by force. His Orders were obey'd, and my Mother was left as dead upon the Shore. I had no fooner got aboard, but-i was fet about fome'of the bardeli Work of the Ship, and was comforted by being told ir' would make me forget my Mother.. This (i bore very patiently, having no Body to accufe but my felf for my Sufferings. The Reader muft excufe me if in this Voyage I do not give him an Account of our Courfes, fince I being unacquainted with failing, and fully griev'd for my Mother, did not much mind them.
