Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Bermuda I did not again make my appearance upon the stage till Saturday afternoon -not that I was so very sick, but I was so extremely tired and uncomfortable I thought it best to keep as quiet as possible. There is not much change in a sea voyage, except in the noises around one. The creaking of the ropes, the throbbing of the engine, the waves dashing against us and pouring over us as though longing to devour us, the crockery knocking and thumping about, the retching, vomiting, and coughing of the unhappy victims of sea-sick ness, - these are the sounds that constantly greet the ear. We did not see any ships, but, on the contrary, shipped many seas, each one seeming to knock us about with a little more force than its predecessor. We were constantly told that We shall have rough weather crossing the gulf, but after that we shall be in smooth waters. That may have been the case in other instances, certainly not so in our experience, for it is difficult to say when we had the rough est, - before, or after, crossing the gulf. Each morning our attendants would announce that We had a fine run last night. Well, if it was any pleasure for them to call it a fine run I do not begrudge it to them, but I called it a roll, and a tumble, and a plunge, and every time a heavy sea struck us, our steamer would quiver from stem to stern. On Sunday came the joyful cry, Land in sight Up I scrambled, dressed myself as speedily as I could, and went on deck. There, like a dark cloud against the horizon, lay Bermuda, the haven where we would be. Oh! What a joyful sight! Nearer and nearer it seemed to come, and calmer and calmer grew the water, till it lay before us and around us like an azure sea of glass.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summer in Bermuda and Excerpts From Tom Moore's Bermudian Letters to His Mother Does it not savor of Fairyland to speak of coral houses built upon coral islands? Well, such is the case down in Old Bermuda. The Islands are of coral formation and each little bungalow is built from blocks of coral sawed out of the ledges with the common saw, and are left exposed to the air to harden.' After building, they are given a coat of whitewash to protect the coral from the weather. These little white houses shimmer in the sunlight in a setting of green and tropical bloom, contrasting with the gray of the ledges and rich coloring of their environment.

Download or read book Letters of Travel Classic Reprint written by Phillips Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Travel These letters of travel of the late Bishop Brooks have been selected from his correspondence with members of his family. They relate to two journeys, of more than a year in duration, taken in 1865-66 and in 1882-83 respectively, - the former when he was Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, the latter when he was Rector of Trinity Church, Boston, - and to shorter summer trips, generally of about three months in duration. The circumstances under which they were written are sufficiently evident from the letters, and call for little comment. Several of these series of letters Bishop Brooks regarded in the light of a record of his travels and experiences, and after his return reclaimed them, and found frequent enjoyment in the reminiscences of his journeys which they awakened. Further details of these same journeys and other letters relating to them will appear in the forthcoming Life of Bishop Brooks.

Download or read book Letters of Captain Geo Hamilton Perkins written by George E. Belknap and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Captain Geo; Hamilton Perkins: U. S. N Since the War of the Rebellion your father has been often applied to for information about the stirring times in which he bore such an active and gallant part. But as his profession required that he should be absent from his country on long cruises, or occupied with its duties when at home, he did not find time to attend to these applications, and they were therefore referred to me. I usually replied by sending extracts from his letters, together with such newspaper notices of him as we possessed, and of these latter I made and kept copies, as they would become worn by use, and ran the risk of being lost. In this way I learned to realize thoroughly what a brave and earnest man your father was, what devotion and energy he brought to the discharge of his duties, what a keen sense of honor and What a sincere and loyal heart he showed in his interpretation of the oath he had taken to defend his government and flag, and what a valiant soul he displayed in fighting their battles. His letters, also, which your grandmother Perkins has kept from the time of his first cruise, as well as all newspaper mention of him that has come in her way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Marco These letters, which consist chiefly of notes and observations on a few of the commoner objects of the Southern English Counties which have from time to time come under my notice, were originally written only for the purpose of amusing my dear old friend H. Stacy Marks, r.a., and the suggestion of their publication is owing to him.

They had come to me within the interval of a year or two, Wherein I had been mildly insistent in the cause of the Graphic Arts, seeking to arrive at the tes timony of participants in events, to gain interpreta tions and points of View from those of established reputation, final authority and direct knowledge, in the interest of the annals of the Arts of the Book. The letters had been treasured during the years since, as ever with those of the good and great in every line of achievement - their autographs, their hand writing, their correspondence, fondly laid within the leaves of books, which thereby become exalted into association copies. Beyond the sufficient pride of possession in the letters made known in this Keep sake, I have prized them equally for their intrinsic value, as revealing documents for the biographer and historian.
