<p> <i>Chapter I</i>
<p>I scarcely know where to begin, though I sometimes facetiously
place the cause of it all to Charley Furuseth's credit. He kept a
summer cottage in Mill Valley, under the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, and
never occupied it except when he loafed through the winter months and
read Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to rest his brain. When summer came on,
he elected to sweat out a hot and dusty existence in the city and to
toil incessantly. Had it not been my custom to run up to see him every
Saturday afternoon and to stop over till Monday morning, this particular
January Monday morning would not have found me afloat on San Francisco
Bay.
<p>Not but that I was . . .
