Rapture Of The Deep: Being An Account Of The Further Adventures Of Jacky Faber, Soldier, Sailor, Mermaid, Spy - Plot & Excerpts
Alsop En route to Havana, Cuba My dearest Jacky, For once I am actually penning this letter instead of just making it up in my mind, for there is the very good chance, God willing, that I will see you again in a week and you might actually read it, unlike those many others I have written and sent out on the winds of chance. This will not be one for our children to read... I have the midwatch tonight, and so I must turn in early to my lonely bunk. But I know that sleep will not come easy for me tonight, for I will be again reliving our last night together in your cabin. "Turn around, Jaimy, please," you had said after we had finished our dinner and were preparing for bed. I did so, thinking it uncommon shyness on your part. I heard a whisper of cloth, then... "All right, Jaimy." I turned around and beheld you and understood. "And what do you think of your saucy sailor girl now?" I was astounded to see you wearing the same impossibly light, filmy little dress you wore on that glorious day in Jamaica three years ago.
