Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exploits and Adventures of a Soldier Ashore and Afloat As an author I do not wish to be misunderstood. I merely desire to portray what has come under my observation, rather than make a Marathon with the laurels of so dignified a profession, and in so doing communicate to those whose arduous duties at home have deprived them of the romance of globetrotting, and thereby distribute the knowledge that some more silent person might never unfetter. In conclusion to this preface, I desire to say, that I have refrained from the manufacture of episodes or any tendency toward fiction, which I trust the following pages will confirm, and that, as from the description of a spectator, these narratives will meet with the approval of those into whose hands they might chance to fall.

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.

Download or read book James Braithwaite the Supercargo written by William Henry Giles Kingston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 294 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Exploits of Bilge and Ma Classic Reprint written by Peter Clark MacFarlane and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Exploits of Bilge and Ma I have read with interest these stories of the exploits of "Bilge" and "Ma," two fiction characters who are supposed to have lived and moved on one of the destroyer flotillas under my command in the late war. The author's own experience upon and around these craft when they were engaged in hunting the submarine has acquainted him with the atmosphere in which that work was done, and in the mishaps as well as in the achievements of the heroes whose adventures are set forth in these pages he has portrayed something of that playful spirit, that dare-devil courage and that unfaltering tenacity of purpose which I have always seen to be characteristic of the American fighting man afloat. I shall anticipate that the volume may not only prove entertaining reading to all who care for a yarn of the sea, but that it will be recognized by officers and men of the fleets and their friends as a tribute to the personnel and the character of the Navy as a whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afloat and Ashore With Sir Walter Raleigh Instantly Raleigh stepped forward and threw down before her a richly-embroidered cloak which he wore. 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.

Book excerpt: I was born in a valley not very remote from the sea. My father had been a sailor in youth, andsome of my earliest recollections are connected with the history of his adventures, and therecollections they excited. He had been a boy in the war of the revolution, and had seen someservice in the shipping of that period. Among other scenes he witnessed, he had been on board theTrumbull, in her action with the Watt-the hardest-fought naval combat of that war-and heparticularly delighted in relating its incidents. He had been wounded in the battle, and bore themarks of the injury, in a scar that slightly disfigured a face, that, without this blemish, would havebeen singularly handsome. My mother, after my poor father's death, always spoke of even this scaras a beauty spot. Agreeably to my own recollections, the mark scarcely deserved that commendation, as it gave one side of the face a grim and fierce appearance, particularly when its owner wasdispleased.My father died on the farm on which he was born, and which descended to him from his greatgrandfather, an English emigrant that had purchased it of the Dutch colonist who had originallycleared it from the woods. The place was called Clawbonny, which some said was good Dutchothers bad Dutch; and, now and then, a person ventured a conjecture that it might be Indian. Bonnyit was, in one sense at least, for a lovelier farm there is not on the whole of the wide surface of theEmpire State. What does not always happen in this wicked, world, it was as good as it washandsome. It consisted of three hundred and seventy-two acres of first-rate land, either arable, or ofrich river bottom in meadows, and of more than a hundred of rocky mountain side, that was verytolerably covered with wood. The first of our family who owned the place had built a substantialone-story stone house, that bears the date of 1707 on one of its gables; and to which each of hissuccessors had added a little, until the whole structure got to resemble a cluster of cottages throwntogether without the least attention to order or regularity. There were a porch, a front door, and alawn, however; the latter containing half a dozen acres of a soil as black as one's hat, and nourishingeight or ten elms that were scattered about, as if their seeds had been sown broad-cast. In additionto the trees, and a suitable garniture of shrubbery, this lawn was coated with a sward that, in theproper seasons, rivalled all I have read, or imagined, of the emerald and shorn slopes of the Swissvalleys
