Download or read book Life and Adventure in the South Pacific Classic Reprint written by John D. Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Adventure in the South Pacific The present volume lays no claim to literary merit. Two young men, led to engage in the whale-fisheries, and spending five years in the employment, have oom piled from their log-books and their recollection a plain, unvarnished narrative of this period. The work is placed before the public as an account of localities few have visited, and the detail of an employment of which little is generally known. The chief effort in the way of style has been to give vivid descriptions, and make the reader the companion of the traveler. Aside from the information of the volume, it is enlivened by life on shipboard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wednesday the Tenth: A Tale of the South Pacific On the eighteenth day out from Sydney, we were cruising under the lee of Erromanga - of course you know Erromanga, an isolated island between the New Hebrides and the Loyalty group - when suddenly our dusky Polynesian boy, Nassaline, who was at the masthead on the lookout, gave a surprised cry of "Boat ahoy!" and pointed with his skinny black finger to a dark dot away southward on the horizon, in the direction of Fiji. I strained my eyes and saw - well, a barrel or something. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life and Adventure in the South Pacific Illustrated Edition written by John D. Jones and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published anonymously in 1861 under the name of "A Roving Printer," there has been much speculation about the true identity of the author who has since been named as John D Jones although there is no definitive proof of this. The book narrates the tale of a five year whaling voyage out of New Bedford on the Emily Morgan, giving an account of the day-to-day occupations of two young men who shipped on the whaler, supplying information on whales and offering vivid descriptions of whaling operations. The ship visited many islands, including Guam, the Hawaiian Islands, Tonga, Juan Fernandez, and Formosa, and the reader is given an insight into life in these far-flung destinations. Illustrated throughout with wood engravings.

Download or read book Wild Life Among the Pacific Islanders Classic Reprint written by E. H. Lamont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life Among the Pacific Islanders Tm; following narrative is compiled from rough notes of a Journal written during my wanderings in the Islands of the South Pacific. My object in publishing the work is to depict, with the simplicity of truth, scenes and events that exemplify the leading features of life among that peculiar race whose lot is cast on these coral-bound shores. A European who dwells among savage tribes is often com pelled, by the circumstances in which he is placed, to as sume a greatness, if he has it not; and the narrative of my personal adventures may seem, on this account, somewhat egotistical. If so, I must beg the reader to excuse a fault which any one writing the experiences of a life similar to mine in these islands must find, to some extent at least.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typee is the first book by the famous American writer Herman Melville. First published in 1846, the book is today considered a classic in travel literature and adventure. The story is based on real experiences by the author as a prisoner in 1842 on the Island Nuku Hiva, located on the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific, which is generously complemented with imaginative adaptation of material from other books. The title of the novel is the name of a valley called Tai Pi Vai. Typee was the most popular work of Melville during his life and he became known as the "man who lived among cannibals." Omoo is the second book by Herman Melville, first published in 1847 and a sequel to Typee. After leaving the island of Nuku Hiva, the main character embarks on a whaling ship that goes all the way from Tahiti, after which there is a riot and most of the crew is imprisoned.
