The first part covers Leslie's early life and his experiences as a sailor, including his time on board various ships and his adventures at sea. The second part focuses on Leslie's life as an artist, and includes descriptions of his travels and his work as a painter.Throughout the book, Leslie provides vivid descriptions of his experiences on the water, from the thrill of sailing in a storm to the quiet beauty of a calm sea. He also discusses the challenges of life at sea, including the dangers of shipwreck and the difficulties of maintaining morale during long voyages.In addition to his experiences as a sailor, Leslie also provides insights into the life of an artist in the late 19th century. He discusses his training and his influences, and provides descriptions of some of his most famous works.
