Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures Ashore and Afloat A short time since I happened to be in Valparaiso, where I made the acquaintance of an American, one of the officers of the United States whaling-ship Nantucket, which had run in from her fishing-grounds in the Pacific, to obtain a supply of water and fresh provisions. Talking over the different events of the cruise, which had lasted two years, he narrated the following curious incident which had befallen them: - One morning at daybreak, when lying becalmed, they found themselves in the midst of a shoal of sperm whales, and all four of their boats were speedily lowered and chase given. Two of them proved successful, and, by the afternoon, had returned to the ship, towing their captured prey; but the others were not so fortunate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Braithwaite, the Supercargo: The Story of His Adventures Ashore and Afloat From his earliest boyhood young Kingston evinced a strong liking for the sea. In consequence of family connections, and his father's occupation, he had much opportunity of being in the society of seafaring men, and their tales of peril and adventure fostered his own inclination for the life of a sailor. At one time he was nearly joining the navy, but circumstances required him to remain in his father's business house at Oporto till he was beyond the age for entering the King's service. He never, however, lost his first taste, and he had opportunity for several voyages. To the end of his days he cherished an ardent affection for sea men, and took deep interest in everything that tended to their welfare. He was proud, also, of the history of the British navy, as he has shown in many of his Spirit-stirring sea-stories. When the Boy's Own Paper was started, in 1879, he led off with a characteristic story of the navy in the time of the great wars of the reign of George III., under the title of From Powder Monkey to Admiral.

It was the first step taken on the dizzy ladder which was to conduct him, through many alternations of court favour, to the scaffold and the headsman's block at last. Elizabeth was charmed alike by the romantic gallantry of the action and by the manly grace and beauty of the young knight errant. She took him into her service on the spot, and ever afterwards regarded him with a degree of favour, which, if it never reached the fever heat of that accorded to Leicester and Essex, was steady, and chequered by but few fluctuations.
