The fall issue of Bancroftiana, the newsletter of the Bancroft Library, has a lead article by Robert Hirst on the acquisition of Col. Denny's journal of the Quaker City cruise, which paints a different picture of the cruise. Bob Hirst's article is excellent and will be of interest to anyone studying Innocents Abroad. I'm on the mailing list because I contribute to the Mark Twain Papers, which we all should do! (IMHO, YMMV, LSMFT) John Bird
