Reproduction of the original: Jack Mason, the Old Sailor by Theodore Thinker
The story of Jack Mason is part of the Theodore Thinker series, in which Theodore recalls various tales told to him of adventures on the sea by Jack. It was originally a children's book printed in 1855. As such, the stories are unlikely to be considered children's tales today. Some of the subjects include: the death of a small boy, the sale of a girl, and the ethics of killing animals. The story emphasizes Christianity and a Bible is a prominent figure in many of the stories. Jack Mason: The Old Sailor was written by Francis Channing Woodworth. He was born in Colchester, Connecticut in 1812, and died en route from New York to Savannah on a ship in 1859. During his life, he was initially a publisher, then became a preacher. He moved into writing children's stories after he became ill and discontinued preaching. He wrote numerous books for children, including Youth's Book of Germs (1851), Buds and Blossoms from Our Own Garden (1854), and Stories About the Country (1857). He also served as the editor for The Youth's Cabinet.
Jack Mason had been to sea a great many times when I first knew him, and he has been a great many times since. He has sailed in a ship almost all over the world. Such a host of stories as he can tell! Why, I do believe if he could find little boys and girls to talk to, he would begin in the morning as soon as he had got through his breakfast, and do nothing but tell stories about what he has seen, until it was time to go to bed at night. I don't know but he would want to stop once or twice to eat. Jack loves a good dinner as well as anybody. Jack is the one that you see in the picture, with his pea-jacket on, and a book in his hand. He is in a ship, telling his stories now to that boy sitting on a coil of rope. See, the boy is looking right at the old man, hearing all he says. I wonder what Jack is talking about now. He must be telling one of his best stories, I guess; for the boy lifts his head up, as much as to say, "Dear me! who ever heard of such a thing!"
