Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wrack of the Storm The reader taking up this volume will, for the first time in the work of one who hitherto had cursed no man, find words of hatred and malediction. I would gladly have avoided them, for I hold that he who takes upon himself to write pledges himself to say nothing that can derogate from the respect and love which we owe to all men. I have had to utter these words; and I am as much surprised as saddened at what I have been constrained to say by the force of events and of truth. I loved Germany and numbered friends there, who now, dead or living, are alike dead to me. I thought her great and upright and generous; and to me she was ever kindly and hospitable. But there are crimes that obliterate the past and close the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wreck of the "Scotsman" And the Grace of God The second day being Saturday, the weather was somewhat cloudy, and prom ised a storm, which rapidly gained head way, and the sea arose with fury, and the vessel tossed about in all directions. The violence of the waves was so great that the officers were compelled to batten down the hatchways, so cutting of access to the deck. The third day came, which was Sun day, and which I can never forget. The height and depth of those immense waves I cannot describe accurately, no more than they appeared like mountain and valley.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Track of a Storm I had been to Paris on business of the bank, and was on my way home. I am not fond of travelling at the best of times; and the end Of November is not, as a rule, the best of times for travelling. The rule was not proved by November, 1832. It was no exception in the matter of November weather. I don't like bad English weather, but I like bad French weather even worse. I was glad to get into the Dover packet. I was positively relieved to hear the good, hearty swear ing Of Christian sailors once more. The passage was cold, but it was not tedious, and by eleven o'clock that night I was enjoying a glass of hot brandy and water before a big fire in the snuggest corner of the Ship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Storm Many friends of W. D. O'Connor have manifested their interest in bringing to the attention of the general public the graphic stories of American heroism which are contained in this volume. Among these friends was Charles W. Eldridge, formerly of the publishing house of Thayer and Eldridge, Boston, and afterward connected with the Treasury Department at Washington.

The preparation of the volume for the press was nearly completed at the time of Mr. Eldridge's death in 1903, and the publishers of "Heroes of the Storm" desire to express their obligation to the service which Mr. Eldridge's affectionate admiration for his friend led him to perform.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of the Wreck Her voice was what you might expect from the face with its steady lights, cool, clear, smooth in ections, yet a touch of the latent strength she was compelled to sum mon, and a suggestion also of the capacity for passion and tenderness. When she spoke you felt as if there were certain songs she could sing incomparably, but having once heard them from her you could never listen to any other rendering of them. Eleanor, you must surely know that a woman who leaves her husband exposes herself to criticism, censure, and yes, temptation. Men seldom respect a woman who throws off the restraints of the marriage vow! I am sure we all regret Tom's course, Mrs. Marshall as keenly as you can; and in time he may see the folly of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Breaking of the Storm During the first week of July 1914, being on leave, I determined to visit Ulster, then threatened with civil strife. Thus I found myself one summer evening leaning on the rail of one of the fast steamers which run between Stranraer and Larne, and watching in admiration the translucent green of the Irish Sea and the blue-black rocks and purple heather of the fast receding coast of Scotland. As I gazed eastwards across the foaming wake, a man came up beside me. "Beautiful!" he said in a harsh voice. "Lovely," I agreed.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wreck of the South Pole or the Great Dissembler, and Other Strange Tales Readers may remember the story told by an ancient mariner which was published last November. This was an account of a cruise which Capt. Reynolds, of New London, Conn., made in the South Seas twenty-six years ago. This voyage, so far as the South Seas were concerned, ended at the South Georgia Islands, where the captain and his crew remained until driven out by the ice. These islands are situated exactly 1,000 miles east of Cape Horn, with an oceanic current running directly from the southern end of the American Continent to them. Here is the most beautiful harbor in the world - the Cumberland. It is surrounded on three sides by lofty mountains which rear their heads straight upward 16,000 feet above the sea, and down whose sides five cataracts flow. But wild and rugged as are those mountain peaks and tempestuous as may be the ocean out beyond, no storms are ever felt within the harbor, although looking upward the sailor can see them raging around the mountain tops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wreck of the Hesperus Of a rocky headland, reef, and islet on the coast of Massachusetts, between Gloucester and Magnolia. The special disaster in which the name originated had long been lost from memory when the poet Longfellow chose the spot as a background for his description of the Wreck of the Hesperus, and gave it an association that it will scarcely lose while the English language endures. Nor does it matter to the legend lover that the ill-fated schooner was not gored by the cruel rocks just at this point, but nearer to the Gloucester coast.
