The Log of the Water Wagon Or The Cruise of the Good Ship Lithia is a book written by Bert Leston Taylor. The book is a humorous account of a fictional voyage on a ship called the Lithia, which is actually a water wagon. The ship is manned by a crew of misfits and oddballs, and the captain is a man named Captain Kiddo. The book is written in a diary format, with each entry detailing the events of a particular day on the voyage. The diary entries are often satirical and poke fun at various aspects of society, including politics, religion, and culture. The book is full of witty observations and clever wordplay, and is sure to entertain readers who enjoy humor and satire. Overall, The Log of the Water Wagon Or The Cruise of the Good Ship Lithia is a lighthearted and entertaining read that is perfect for anyone looking for a good laugh.1905. The Log of the Water Wagon was compiled from memoranda found in a floating milk bottle with a patent stopper, flung overboard just before the good ship Lithia foundered in a fearful simoom off White Rock Point. The notes, penciled in a trembling hand, on the backs of blank temperance pledges, IOUs, and wine lists, were barely legible, testifying to the fearful condition of the unknown writer's tongue, manifestly incapable of moistening the pencil. The editors have preserved, as far as possible, the spirit and literary style of the Log keeper, whose identity is an interesting conjecture. His fate, and that of his fellow passengers, is shrouded in mystery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
