Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Sea and Land After a while, the vessel reached the Island of Jamaica; but Bill would not lg'. Any one have the child. He went on shore and got some milk for him, and bought some pieces of linen; and, as he had little to do, he spent his time in making them into shirts. He also made a little bed, and filled it with soft feathers. Now, I have said before that Bill was a rough sailor. He had a hand almost as hard as flint, and a voice that sounded as rough as a tin horn. But his hard hand never was rough to the little creature that he had in charge; and his voice, when he spoke to it, was softened into kindness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twixt Land and Sea Tales Ever since the sun rose I had been looking ahead. The ship glided gently in smooth water. After a sixty day's passage I was anxious to make my landfall, a fertile and beautiful island of the tropics. The more enthusiastic of its inhabitants delight in describing it as the "Pearl of the Ocean." Well, let us call it the "Pearl." It's a good name. A pearl distilling much sweetness upon the world. This is only a way of telling you that first-rate sugar-cane is grown there. All the population of the Pearl lives for it and by it. Sugar is their daily bread, as it were. And I was coming to them for a cargo of sugar in the hope of the crop having been good and of the freights being high. Mr. Burns, my chief mate, made out the land first; and very soon I became entranced by this blue, pinnacled apparition, almost transparent against the light of the sky, a mere emanation, the astral body of an island risen to greet me from afar. It is a rare phenomenon, such a sight of the Pearl at sixty miles off. And I wondered half seriously whether it was a good omen, whether what would meet me in that island would be as luckily exceptional as this beautiful, dreamlike vision so very few seamen have been privileged to behold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Ironsides the Hero of Tripoli and and Other Tales and Adventures on Sea and Land It was during the Civil War that I first saw Charles Stewart, popularly known as 'Old Ironsides," but generally called Commodore Stewart by his neighbors. He was living at White Hill, on the outskirts of Bordenton, N. J., and made famous afterward as the residence of Mrs. Delia Parnell, his daughter-in-law. It was on a crisp winter day in mid-winter. When I presented myself at the door I was told that the commodore was at work in the barn. Going thither I found the great naval hero busily pouring corn into a sheller, the handle of which a lusty Irishman was turning. The commodore good-naturedly laid aside his implement and briskly led the way to the house, where we chatted for a couple of hours. He insisted upon my coming again, and I did so quite frequently, through summer and winter, until near his final sickness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For Life and Liberty: A Story of Battle by Land and Sea There is a thread of romance in the warp or weft of nearly every boy's life. I should not care to have a boy as a companion in my summer rambles who did not have that blue vein of "romanticness" winding and curving through all his nature, like the blue line that runs through the best ship's canvas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Sea Yarns In the great bure of Raiyawa there was a story-telling. The lying-places filled three sides of the house - mats spread upon grass four feet wide, - and between each lying-place was a narrow strip of bare earth sprinkled with wood-ashes, on which three logs, nose to nose, were smouldering. A thin curl of blue smoke wreathed upwards from each to the conical roof, where they met and filtered through the blackened thatch; so that from outside the bure looked like a disembowelled haystack smouldering, ready to burst into flame. On the fourth side was a low doorway, stopped with a thick fringe of dried rushes, through which ever and anon a grey-headed elder burst head-foremost, after coughing and spitting outside to announce his arrival.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flying Cloud: A Story of the Sea It was magical, wonderful, past all whooping, to be young and to be alive, and to be on the deck of a great ship in a gale. Consider, you who have been to sea, and have indeed seen things, and known, maybe, many Hurricanes and Cyclones and Typhoons, and the Roaring Forties, and running down the Easting, and all the seven and seventeen seas of this strange round world of sea (wherein there is a little inconsiderable land); consider, I say, what it was to face your first big gale, if in your boy's heart there were but half the natural courage of a boy who loved the sea ignorantly and all its mighty works! Magic is no word for it; there are no words. To paint it one asks those who know to come and bring their hearts' knew.
