Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Navy, Vol. 2 Thoroughly exasperated, the American Government now issued what amounted to an ultimatum. The Germans gave way, and early in May Count Bernstorff presented a Note in which his Government promised that henceforth the campaign would be conducted in accordance with the general principles of international law, and that no vessel would be sunk until some provision had been made for the safety of the passengers and crew. These concessions ushered in a new phase of the con flict. The Imperial Chancellor had yielded to the American demands in the teeth of fierce opposition from the officers of the naval and military commands. The thought of loyally supporting the Government in the attitude it had adopted evidently never entered their minds, as the events recorded in this volume attest; and for the rest of the year they strove, by making progressive encroachments upon the pledges given, to restore the submarine campaign to the position which it had lost. They were tolerably successful for at the end of 1916 merchant vessels were being sunk without warning in the Atlantic and North Sea as well as the Mediterranean: in January 1917 the number of lives lost in British merchant ships was 276, and 245 of these died as a result of the submarine campaign. When, a few weeks later, the German Government declared unrestricted submarine war, it was practically announcing an accomplished fact, but the decision proved the final influence which brought the United States into the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Seaman in War WE are passing through a crisis in the History of our Nation during which every individual is called upon to take some part. On every side there are evidences of devotion to duty, and much that is heroic and splendid is brought into prominence every day. In a conflict of so vast a scale, however, countless acts of gallantry must inevitably pass unrecorded and unknown; and unless I misjudge my fellow-countrymen, I believe their authors would not have it other wise. Yet the part in this war which has been played by the officers and men of the British Mercantile Marine is such that some record is imperative. They have founded a new and a glorious tradition in the teeth of new and undreamed-of peril, and have borne the full brunt of the enemy's illegal submarine warfare. It is not only in their honour that I feel this book should go before the public, but also as a lesson to succeeding generations who will follow their paths in freedom on the seas.

He refused Joe Grummet leave, and me too, though there was no duty to do but the anchor-watch, said Bowline, referring to the two or three men appointed to look after a ship while at anchor or in port._ But hush!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Captain Kyd, or the Wizard of the Sea, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance Nay, my sweet Grace, will you give all your adieus and affectionate partings to your cousin? Said the countess, interrupting their lingering part ing. With another warm embrace, another kiss, and a fresh shower of tears, Grace released herself from Kate's entwining arms and threw herself into those of Lady Bellamont. The earl then gently took her hand and led her into the boat. The baggage, in the mean while, had been placed in it by the servants and seamen, and the earl and his niece having taken their seats beneath the silk en canopy and once more interchanged adieus with those on the rock, the captain bade the men give way in the direction of the yacht, the yards of which, at the same moment, were manned to receive the noble party. The boat, urged on its way by eight oars, cut swiftly through the crested waves, and in a short time after leaving the land was along side. The deck of the vessel was within a few feet of the water; and half adozen steps, let down by a hinge into the boat, formed a safe and easy means of getting on board. As Grace, who had not ceased to wave her handkerchief to the party on shore, placed her foot upon the deck, her eyes rested, with surprise that nearly broke forth into an exclamation, on Mark Meredith, who stood close beside her, manning, with other young sailors, the rope that lifted the stairs. Forgetful of his duty, he looked with all his soul after her retiring form, as, leaning on her uncle's arm, she walked aft amid the lou cheers from the crew on the yards.

I felt nervous on a sudden. But the swing of the lamp threw a frequent shadow over my face, which I knitted into a hard, resolved expression; a thing not difficult to manage, when you have plenty of eyebrows, and Slack, sailorly hair upon the brow, and when there's no hurry to speak or act. The others did not offer to sit. They stood in the light, watching me or Brigstock. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Sailor, Vol. 2 of 2 Says he - "There is a weighty reason For secrecy in love - as treason; Love is a burglarer, a felon, That at the windore eye does steal in, To rob the heart - and with his prey Steals out again a closer way." Hudibras. I was not very long permitted to enjoy the repose of a half-pay lieutenant; for, scarcely had I succeeded in getting as far as Torquay, when I received a long letter from the Admiralty, appointing me to the Euphrates, then fitting at Sheerness for the Mediterranean station. She was commanded by Captain P, was one of the fir frigates, and sailed at the expiration of four months after I joined her. As I consider we have had quite enough of Gibraltar, Malta, &c., I shall at once proceed to Corfu, (touching at Algiers, ) where the Euphrates remained for six months, being in attendance on that most singular of all men, Sir Thomas Maitland. Sir Thomas was then lord-high-commissioner of the Ionian Islands, governor of Malta, &c. &c. On leaving Gibraltar we touched at Algiers; and here, as we were ordered to await the arrival of Lord Exmouth and his fleet, we came to an anchor in the bay, seizing the idle moment to make the ship appear in proper order, as Captain P. was anxious to keep the Euphrates prepared for any trip. We had constantly a watering party on shore, and thus had numerous opportunities of seeing the town, and cultivating a proper understanding with the turbaned Turk.
