Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships and Folks Missing She was spoken off Saint Vincent, outward bound... Some lumber-laden barque from Puget Sound, Heaving her sodden deck-load through the foam, Weary of sea-ways, climbing the hill for home... Some nine-knot tramp from Melbourne or Bombay, Wallowing deep-freighted on her homeward way, Her grimy decks awash, her blistered funnel Leprous with salt, sea-stained from keel to gunwale, Rust-streaked, and battered with the Cape Horn gales, Sighted at grey of dawn her shining sails... White as a woman's breasts they gleamed afar, - Her gilded main-truck flashing like a star, - And the first shafts of sunrise turned to gold Her sleek side, heaving upward as she rolled... So passed she by - and those who watched her go Thought of that road they had good cause to know, Thought how, when they were sheltered dry and warm, She would go plunging through some night of storm, All hands aloft, reefing the steel-hard sails, Cursing... with frozen hands and bleeding nails... Her yards sheeted with ice... her leaning deck A seething flood men toiled in to the neck... Then thought of winking glasses, warmth and noise - Good pay to burn - and sordid seaport joys - Saying: "Who'd change with them chaps now?" - and yet Still felt a strange half-envy, half-regret, Such as men may who, ease and wealth attained, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Wander Ships written by Wilbur Bassett and published by . This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the zoologist bemoans the intrusion of alien species into the isolation of some island life, so the folk-lorist regrets that the isolation of the professional sailor has been invaded and well-nigh destroyed by the incredulous land-lubber." So the author begins, pointing to the necessity of carefully preserving authentic tales from those who lived on the seas. He notes that there are five basic classes of uncanny ship stories, "reward ships, punishment ships, specters, ships of the death voyage, and devil ships," providing an illustrative tale of each, followed by analysis of each theme, looking at similar stories from around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Greek myth fans, those who can’t get enough of the D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths, and readers who have aged out of Rick Riordan, this classroom staple and mythology classic is perfect for learning about the ancient myths! As the gods and goddesses of Olympus scheme, the ancient world is thrown into turmoil when Helen, the most beautiful woman in all of Greece, is stolen away by her Trojan love. Inflamed by jealousy, the Greek king seeks lethal vengeance and sends his black war ships to descend on the city of Troy. In the siege that follows, history’s greatest heroes, from Ajax to Achilles to Odysseus, are forged in combat, and the brutal costs of passion, pride, and revenge must be paid. In the end, the whims of the gods, the cunning of the warriors, and a great wooden horse will decide who emerges victorious. Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, is one of the greatest adventure stories of all time and Rosemary Sutcliff's retelling of the classic saga embodies all of the astonishing drama, romance, and intrigue of ancient Greece. Don’t miss The Wanderings of Odysseus, the companion to Black Ships Before Troy, and follow Odysseus on his adventure home. This book has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades 6-8, Stories) in Appendix B.
