As they have been not altogether unacceptable to the readers of the Nautical Magazine, where they first, and only very recently, appeared, the Author is induced to repub lish them in the hope that they may be at least equally so to the general public. If the anticipation of the future be pleasant, and it is often more pleasant than the realisation, the recollections of past labours are not less agreeable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Sea Wanderer's Life Messmates, hear a brother sailor Tell the dangers of the sea. When, to the intense astonishment of my acquaintances, it was noised abroad that I had determined to write the history Of my life at sea, I was overwhelmed with advices and suggestions, not only widely differing from one another, but utterly conflicting and irreconcilable. On one point, however, all my friends agreed that a preface was de rigueur, and that to write a book without a preface would be as absurd as to play Hamlet without Ophelia. Slowly and sadly I yielded a reluctant assent, and hence these few lines. Should my patrons pass them over unread, I shall be the last to blame them. For I believe that in most instances (i know it to be so in the present one) a preface is as superfluous and as useless as a Sergeant of Marines. Of course, it is quite natural that writers of the calibre of Mr. Dickens Should not deign to put pen to paper without claiming for their labors a higher motive than the design to gain wealth and reputation, or to furnish amusement for an idle hour. Like the mythical heroes of Old, Jack the Giant Killer and Don Quixote, their lance is ever poised to hurl the giant oppressor to earth, and right the wrongs of the afflicted and the fair.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Naval Life, Vol. 1 of 3 I know not whether an author who first pre sents himself at the bar of public opinion, is expected to plead the precise reasons that have induced him to place himself in such a hazardous position. Nevertheless, as I have taken my stand at that tribunal, and many sensitive, nay, sensible people, may be sorely puzzled as to the motives that have induced me to swell the list of naval vrita's; I feel it would be discourteous, as well as unwise, to mystify a simple tale, and therefore for their special satisfaction I proceed to indite my prefatory address.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Sailor's Life I AM writing this to show the wonderful mercies the Lord has shown me in fifty years' life-time at sea, and I hope that whoever may have a chance to look at it, it will teach them not to despair, or give them selves up for lost for by perseverance, and a firm trust in the AI mighty, we can do anything that the Giver of all good will allow us to do; for there is a Sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, keeps a watch for the life of poor Jack. By accounts that I had from my friends, when I came to the years of' recollection, I was informed that I was born at sea, in the year of' our Lord 1777, on the 2otb of August my father being master of a brig belonging to Hull in Yorkshire, and when I was born, he was bound on a voyage from London to Hamburg. My mother being at sea along with her husband, and being at sea, and by contrary winds and bad weather being detained longer than what they expected, I was born on board of the J ane and Margaret, belonging to the port of Hull, when the brig was nearly abreast of' Heligoland, an island that lays at the entrance of Hamburg River; but my mother being very podrly, she and I were left at a place called Cuxhaven, at the entrance of the River Elbe. But my father being obliged to proceed upon his voyage, my mother and me were left at Hamburg at the consul's. And the winter setting in sooner and severer than B.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sailor Hanging from the wall of the house beyond was a dirty oil lamp round which the fog circled in a hundred spectral shapes. Seen by its light, she was not pleasant to look upon. Bare-armed, bare-headed, savage chest half bare and sagging in festoons, she stood stayless and unashamed, breathing gin and wickedness. A grin of quiet joy was upon her alcoholic countenance. Nay, more than joy. It was a light of inward ecstasy, and sprang from the fact that a heavy carter's whip was in her hand. Not many feet from the spot on which she stood was the wall of a neighbor's house. Crouching against it so that he was scarcely visible in the darkness was a boy of thirteen. Without stockings or shoes, he wore only a filthy shirt, a thing that had once been a jacket, and a tattered lower gar ment which left his thighs half naked.

Download or read book Thirty Years at Sea written by E. Shippen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty Years at Sea: The Story of a Sailor's Life Nearly all the incidents and scenes depicted in this book have been derived from the-writer's own experience or from the relations of actors and eye witnesses. Nothing in it is matter of pure invention except as to arrangement and the connecting links necessary to preserve the continuity of the narrative, fragments of which have given entertainment to so many listeners, old and young, as to encourage the hope that in a connected form it might interest a wider circle. The chapters describing the fight be tween the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the capture of Fort Fisher, have, in a slightly altered form, already appeared in Lippincott's Magazine, where they were divested of their connection with the hero of the narrative, and became a strictly accurate account of facts which came under the writer's observation.
