In April 1907 he sailed from San Francisco in the forty-five-foot ketch Snark, with his wife, Charmian, a skeleton crew, and his writing to keep him company. Beset by seasickness and tropical disease, London wrote incessantly--not only his major autobiographical novel Martin Eden and numerous short stories, but also a series of sketches recording the voyage itself. These entertaining pieces, collected together into the book he called \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cruise of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, reveal London's indefatigable spirit and love of adventure at sea and among the Pacific islands.
