A QUEER PEOPLE.
One evening, as Captain Perry was sitting by the fireside at his home in
Liverpool, his children asked him to tell them a story.
[Illustration]
"What shall it be about?" said the captain.
"O," said Harry, "tell us about other countries, and the curious people
you have seen in them."
"Yes, yes!" exclaimed Mary. "We were much interested, while you were
away the last time, in reading 'Gulliver's Travels' and 'Sindbad the
Sailor.'"
"You have seen as wonderful things as they did, haven't you, father?"
said Harry.
"No, my dears," said the captain. "I never met such wonderful people as
they tell about, I assure you; nor have I seen the 'Black Loadstone
Mountain' or the 'Valley of Diamonds.'"
"But," said Mary, "you have seen a great many people, and their
different manners and ways of living."
"Yes," said the captain, "and if it will interest you, I will tell you
some of the curious things that I have observed."
