I compared the first few chapters of the ebook to the paper version to see how it was. Overall it was nicely done but there were a couple of paragraphs that were incorrectly joined to the previous paragraph.
“Sailing Vessel Swallow. Port: Holly Howe. Owners …” “Who are the owners?”
“Now,” he said, “you all have to sign opposite your names.” They all signed.
There were also some changes/updates to the punctuation:
'good-bye' to 'goodbye'
'bottom-boards' to 'bottom boards
'ground-sheet' to 'groundsheet'
'to-day' to 'today'
'to-morrow' to 'tomorrow'
'Mr' to 'Mr.'
'mother' to 'Mother' (when speaking to her)
“It’s not much of a harbour,” said Captain John; “but if it’s the only one it’ll have to do. -> John,
What other differences have people noted?
