Extract From Captain Stormf ield's Visit To 
Heaven 

By Mark Twain (1835-1910) 

In the afterlife grizzled sea captain Eli Stormfield 
finds himself piloting a ship to heaven. Despite a 
detour and some navigation errors he arrives but 
finds the transition to heavenly bliss a little 
disconcerting. - Although first drafted in the late 
1870's this story did not see print until the 
December 1907 and January 1908 issues of "Harper's Magazine". The 
next year it was made available as a Christmas gift book and represents 
the last volume Mark Twain published in his lifetime. (Summary by Gregg 
Margarite)
