1911, Erwin Rosen [pseudonym; Erwin Carlé], Der Deutsche Lausbub in Amerika [The German prankster in America], page 26:Ich wurde unternehmungslustig und stieg ins Zwischendeck hinab. Es war fürchterlich da unten. Armselige Häuflein menschlichen Elends lagen auf den Kojen herum, mit grüngelben Gesichtern, jammernd in den Qualen der Seekrankheit, zu energielos, um in frische Luft an Deck zu gehen.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
