| 520 | _a"The Log of the Water Wagon; or, The Cruise of the Good Ship 'Lithia'" by Bert Leston Taylor and W. C. Gibson is a humorous narrative written in the early 20th century. This satirical work can be categorized as a comic literary exploration that addresses the theme of temperance through the lens of an absurd voyage aboard a fictitious ship named the Good Ship Lithia. The book takes a lighthearted approach to alcohol abstinence and the virtues and follies of its teetotaling passengers. The story is presented as a log kept by a lone sober passenger amid a rowdy crew and a boisterous passenger list that includes a variety of comical characters, each with their quirky personalities and respective struggles with sobriety. As the Lithia embarks on its "dry cruise," the log entries recount a series of misadventures, from amusing mutinies and thirst-induced chaos to introducing eccentric elements such as a "water cure." The narrative unfolds in days that blend levity with insightful commentary on the trials of maintaining one's resolve against temptation, eventually culminating in a farcical ending filled with ludicrous challenges. Overall, the book utilizes wit and satire to entertain while subtly advocating for temperance, making it a whimsical reflection on societal attitudes toward alcohol consumption during its time.
