Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Ebbing of the Tide" by Louis Becke is a fascinating collection of brief memories set within the wonderful locales of the South Pacific for the duration of the overdue nineteenth and early 20th centuries. Louis Becke, an Australian author and adventurer, draws on his own reviews inside the Pacific Islands to craft testimonies that explore the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of the area's lush landscapes and various cultures. The tales in this series frequently characteristic sailors, buyers, and islanders, supplying a glimpse into the tumultuous interactions among Europeans and the indigenous human beings. Becke skillfully navigates themes of love, betrayal, and cultural conflict, shooting the essence of life in the South Pacific for the duration of a time of substantial social and economic exchange. With an eager information of the human situation, Becke's narratives are imbued with an experience of adventure, romance, and the cruel realities of colonialism. "The Ebbing of the Tide" showcases Becke's storytelling prowess, transporting readers to a international wherein the tides of fortune reflect the ebb and waft of human destinies in the spell binding and every now and then perilous islands of the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small, squat and dirty-looking trading steamer, with the name Motutapu painted in yellow letters on her bows and stern, lay at anchor off the native village of Utiroa on Drummond's Island in the Equatorial Pacific. She was about 800 tons burden, and her stained and rusty sides made her appear as if she had been out of port for two years instead of scarcely four months. At this present moment four of her five boats were alongside, each one piled high over the gunwales with bags of copra, which the steam winch was hoisting in as quickly as possible, for night was drawing on and Captain Louis Hendry, who was then ashore, had given orders to the mate, a burly Yorkshireman named Oliver, to be ready to heave up at six o'clock. The day had been intensely hot and windless, the sea lay sweltering, leaden-hued and misty, and the smoke from the native houses in Utiroa village hung low down amid the groves of coco-palms which encompassed it on three sides.

This book was released on 1897 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following pages have been written from the point of view of the year 1896, the greater part of which I spent in Australia. During the earlier months of the present year I was in New Zealand, but I was unable to continue my survey of general Australasian affairs. A result of the limitation that I was compelled to impose upon myself will be observed in the apparent antiquity of the chapter dealing with Australian Federation; but this is not so great as might have been anticipated, the new Federal Convention having drafted a Bill which is based, to a large extent, upon that of 1891. For purposes of comparison I have, with the kind permission of the London agents of the Melbourne Argus, included an article in which that newspaper has summarised the provisions of the new Federal Constitution Bill.

This book was released on 1898 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her white cotton canvas swelling gently out and then softly drooping flat against her cordage, the Shawnee, sperm whaler of New Bedford, with the dying breath of the south-east trade, was sailing lazily over a sea whose waters were as calm as those of a mountain lake. Twenty miles astern the lofty peaks of Tutuila, one of the islands of the Samoan group, stood out clearly in the dazzling sunshine, and, almost ahead, what at dawn had been the purple loom of Upolu was changing to a cloud-capped dome of vivid green as the ship closed with the land. The Shawnee was "a five-boat ship," and, judging from the appearance of her decks, which were very clean, an unlucky one. She had been out for over a year, and three months had passed since the last fish had been killed. That was off the coast of Chile, and she was now cruising westward and northward towards the eastern coast of New Guinea, where Captain Harvey Lucy, the master, expected to make up for the persistent ill-luck that had attended him so far.
