Excerpt from Malta, Under the Phenicians, Knights, and English
A sea voyage is either beneficial or injurious to health, according to the way in which the voyagers treat themselves. It is desirable to spend as much time as possible on deck in the open air, and to walk about for at least several hours daily. If travelling in winter, or in a rough sea, for any length of time, goloshes are of great service for protecting the feet from the water, which is sure to be often lying about on the deck, either from being dashed over by the waves, or from being thrown down by the sailors while washing it; and which of course takes a long time to dry in cloudy weather.
A more than ordinary tendency to indulge in sleep in the mornings is often felt on shipboard; and, if this is resisted, it will be found a material source of health and comfort afterwards.
