"The Log of the Ark, by Noah; Hieroglyphics by Ham by Irwin Leslie Gordon" is a humorous fictional narrative likely penned in the early 20th century. This book presents a satirical retelling of the biblical story of Noah's Ark, capturing the adventures and tribulations of Noah and his family during their journey through the flood. Through the lens of comedy, it explores the dynamics of family life aboard the Ark, focusing on the humorous and chaotic challenges that arise as they care for the animals and navigate the waters. In this whimsical account, Noah documents his thoughts and experiences in a log format, filled with witty observations and entertaining incidents. He portrays himself as the beleaguered captain of the Ark, managing quirky family members—such as the irreverent Ham, the more competent Shem, and the naïve Japheth—along with the diverse collection of animals. Each day brings new escapades, from dealing with seasickness and animal antics to conducting shipboard services and pondering the absurdity of their situation. The narrative cleverly blends elements of humor, absurdity, and drama to provide insights into family relationships and the challenges of leadership in a comically exaggerated circumstance.
