Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Perils of the Deep: Being an Account of Some of the Remarkable Shipwrecks and Disasters at Sea During the Last Hundred Years We propose in the followmg pages to keep these two classes, as far as may be, distinct. Part II. Shall be reserved for those narratives which partake, more or less, of what we may be allowed to call a Robinson Crusoe character. In Part I. We shall tell the story of some of those catastrophes - in volving, many of them, such lamentable loss of life - which again and again remind man of his im potence in the presence of the fully-aroused forces of Nature. And here, too, we propose to arrange our illustrations in reference to some of the leading causes to which maritime disasters owe their origin. A portion of this book is a reprint. Some years ago the issued a volume entitled, Ship wrecks and Adventures at Sea, from which work most of the narratives of wrecks previous to that of the Royal C/zan'er, in 1859, have been taken in an abridged and somewhat altered form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Sea in Former Days: Narratives of Wreck and Rescue The experiences of those that go down to the sea in ships have ever been of the greatest interest to young readers. Stories of shipwreck, famine, mutiny, and the other misfortunes which befall the mariner, always will be appreciated by all who love to read of deeds of daring, and to ponder on the lessons which may be drawn from them. They may serve as examples to be imitated in times of necessity; of dangers, once en countered, to be afterwards avoided; or as beacons to indicate the rocks and shoals which beset nearly every path in life. In the present volume will be found narratives of occurrences, such as the ever-memorable mutiny of the Bounty, which have become historical, and many others of equal interest. They have been compiled from authentic sources; and it is hoped that they will be read with that attention which is ever roused by the perusal of true stories of suffering and courage under trying circumstances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorable Shipwrecks and Seafaring Adventures of the Nineteenth Century O the people of a maritime country, stories of the perils g and providences endured and experienced, by those who have had their path in the great waters, must always present points of interest peculiarly their own. Nor will such narrativas to any extent be otherwise than attractive to the reader when the eye-witnesses of the scenes are allowed to describe these, as far as practicable, in their own way. In compiling the following pages a preference has been shown towards personal descriptions by the ship wrecked seaman, the passenger, and the adventurer, when bearing the marks of authenticity. Most of the tales of the sea now re - told have been rewritten or condensed, so as to give all the main facts of each, but without.

What can speak louder in praise of human ingenuity, than the wonderful art by which he is enabled to boldly steer from the land until it fades in the horizon, and nothing is to be seen but the heavenly concave above and a' watery waste around him?
