To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Much of this had been at times called forth by a singular device. One day there arose among the brethren a small hat, made from a champagne cork, and this was " put up " under the condition that he who had last made an original joke should keep it until another had trumped it with one as good.
Now, the cork in question had been extracted from a bottle of what is known as Imperial champagne, and the hat consequently bore on its top the distinctive symbol of royalty or empire. In other words, " Y...-and- Dof discovered, on looking at the hat, that it had a crown to it.
Here, of course, were cries of ''hat!^' "hat!" and "Y/' and ''Dof received the symbol. But he did not keep it long — nor '^any other man.'' Major McElroy, at Ellsworth, was the first who punned the hat out of our party. It was a terrible contest, but we let it go. Another hat was soon provided ; there was no lack of material wherewith to make one.
I am aware that some of these details may seem frivolous to those who do not go deeply in anthropological analysis, according to Comte and Buckle; yet one might as well hope to give an idea of Democracy without alluding to whisky, or write the secret history of Andrew Johnson with- out mentioning counterfeiters, as to historiograph the great Pacific expe- dition and not set forth the social influence upon it of that hat.
