Download or read book The boat they laughed at written by max liberson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buying a 42' ferro-cement boat for £1500 and what started as a retort to a wind-up led to the adventure of a lifetime. RYA Yachtmaster Max Liberson had been drawn to the sea all his life, but it was the chance acquisition of a yacht that apparently only he could see the potential of that allowed him to fulfil a dream. What followed was a true story of ingenuity, persistence and more anecdotal tales of woe than most sailors would want to admit to as their own. For anyone aiming to make a similar voyage, the story goes into detail of his plans beforehand and the many pitfalls and triumphs he encountered on his 9-month round trip from Battlesbridge in Essex over to the Carribean.
Download or read book Episodes in the Lives of Men Women and Lovers Classic Reprint written by Edith Simcox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Episodes in the Lives of Men, Women, and Lovers Except at high tide in smooth weather there are only two passages along the whole half-mile, and with the wind that blew it would have been madness to try to coast round outside the dangerous reach. The only chance - those who watched the end all agreed that the lost boat was handled as well as boat could be in such a storm - the only chance was for the boat to run straight before the wind and shoot the middle channel in its course. Ten minutes later and this too might have been done: at flood tide a current runs through this channel with a strength of seven miles an hour. The sailors had calculated to a moment the time for reaching the passage when the current was slackest for the ebb, but the fury of the gale had put out their reckoning; under bare poles they had been swept along faster than good sailing speed, and they were at the edge of the surf ten minutes too soon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yacht Club: Or the Young Boat-Builder The hero is a young man of high Ms and noble purposes and the writer believes that it is unpardonable to awaken the interest and sympathy of his readers for any other than high minded and well-meaning characters. But he is not faultless; he makes some grave mistakes, even while he has high aims. The most important lesson in morals to be derived from his experience is that it is unwise and dangerous for young people to conceal their actions from their parents and friends; and that men and women who seek concealment choose darkness be cause their deeds are evil.

Book excerpt: "[...]prove him an ignoramus. There is the finest of poetic imagery in the suggestions subtly conveyed by Crane's tricky adjectives, the use of which was as deliberate with him as his choice of a subject. But Crane was an imagist before our modern imagists were known. This unconventional use of adjectives is marked in the Whilomville tales. In one of them Crane refers to the "solemn odor of burning turnips." It is the most nearly perfect characterization of burning turnips conceivable: can anyone improve upon that "solemn odor"?[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transformation A stream of partly-clad men, women and children poured from the salon; the companion-way vomiting forth a shrieking, terror-mad throng. Orders shouted by the officers were drowned in the frenzied cries of those striving to reach the boats. The fear of death was dominant and the souls of men reverted to the primal instinct of the preservation of life. The sailors deserted their posts and joined the frantic rush for the boats which dangled from their davits, and the crack of revolvers in the hands of the faithful officers as they vainly strove to stem the tide, added their quota to the unholy din.

It was first published in 1895 by Copeland & Day. Black riders came from the sea. Three little birds in a row In the Desert Yes, I have a thousand tongues Once there came a man God fashioned the ship of the world carefully Mystic shadow, bending near me, I looked here I stood upon a high place, Should the wide world roll away, In a lonely place, "And the sins of the fathers shall be" If there is a witness to my little life, There was a crimson clash of war. "Tell brave deeds of war." There were many who went in huddled procession In heaven A god in wrath A learned man came to me once There was, before me Once I saw mountains angry Places among the stars I saw a man pursuing the horizon Behold, the grave of a wicked man There was set before me a mighty hill A youth in apparel that glittered "Truth," said a traveller Behold, from the land of the farther suns Supposing that I should have the courage Many workmen Two or three angels There was one I met upon the road I stood upon a highway A man saw a ball of gold in the sky I met a seer On the horizon the peaks assembled The ocean said to me once The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds And you love me Love walked alone I walked in a desert There came whisperings in the winds I was in the darkness Tradition, thou art for suckling children Many red devils ran from my heart "Think as I think," said a man Once there was a man I stood musing in a black world You say you are holy A man went before a strange God Why do you strive for greatness, fool? Blustering God "It was wrong to do this," said the angel A man toiled on a burning road A man feared that he might find an assassin With eye and with gesture The sage lectured brilliantly Walking in the sky Upon the road of my life There was a man and a woman There was a man who lived a life of fire There was a great cathedral Friend, your white beard sweeps the ground Once, I knew a fine song If I should cast off this tattered coat God lay dead in heaven A spirit sped
