Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteen Months on a Greenland Whaler I am well aware of the fact that the public has for a long time back been solicited in behalf of new publications in a well-nigh distracting degree. Modern facilities for book-making have ushered upon the world a new breed of the gems homo, known as the book-agent, making a fourth to be added to the list of Solomon's insatiables. And with an eye like the ancient mariner' s and a pow er like that of Scheherazade for spinning a yarn, this nondescript is as far-reaching as civilization, ubiquitous as advertisements of quack medicine and persistently penetrative as the North wind, and generally about as unwelcome.

Thankful for my own escapes in early life, I would beg to lay this narrative before the general public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From the front of the well-known inn, the Keppel's Head the portrait of the brave old admiral, which I always looked at with awe and admiration, thinking What a great man he must have been, gazed sternly down on us as we made our way along the Common Hard of Portsea towards the water's edge. Father and Jack hauled in the Wherry, and having deposited their burdens in her, set to work to mop her out and to put her to rights, while I stood, still grasping the boat-hook, which I held upright with the point in the ground, watching their proceedings, till father, lifting me Up in his arms, placed me in the sternsheets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys' Book of Whalers The yacht, on which Harry was cruising, was tacking across the mouth of Buzzard's Bay and the ship which had attracted his attention was coming out of the Bay before the brisk northerly wind. Her dingy patched sails were bellying out like dun-colored balloons; a little mountain of white water was about her high, bluff bows and her lofty sides towered, like the walls of a house, far above the green waves. Her low, stout masts, immensely long and heavy spars, uptilted bow sprit and ornate ngure-head gave her a very ancient appearance, and through his glasses, Harry had noticed that her davits were crude wooden affairs, and that there were numerous boats swinging from them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Jack: A Man-of-War's South-Sea Whaler There is a time of life when a person feels that he has left for ever his boyish days and stepped into manhood. I felt that I had passed that boundary when I found myself rated as an able seaman on board the Syren sloop of war. I was now under a far stricter system of discipline than I had been accustomed to. At first I felt it somewhat galling; but I soon saw that without the greatest regularity it would be impossible to keep order among the crew of a ship even of the size of the Syren. My early days I had spent on board a merchantman, and had met with many adventures somewhat strange and exciting. I did not expect to meet with fewer in my new career, though they would probably be of a different character. The result of my last, in which I had aided in rescuing two of my countrymen from captivity, had proved most satisfactory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories I have for many years wondered that the romantic and exciting experiences of the whale fishery have not been preserved more often in records in our literature. Occa sionally we have had sketches of one or another detail in this marvellous adventure. But it would seem as if the brave men who engage in such adventure handle harpoons more willingly than they handle pens. And so you shall hear many a story of such adventure told by men who Speak of what they have seen, while you do not read one such story. I was very glad, therefore, to hear that Capt. Charles H. Robbins had put to paper some accounts of his own earlier experiences, and that he has been persuaded to publish them; and to say to any friend of mine' that he may place confident reliance on the narrative of Capt. Robbins, as being that of one who tells of what he saw, of which indeed he was much himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Board a Whaler: An Adventurous Cruise Through Southern Seas N the spring of 1868, while yet a boy in my eighteenth year, I was living at Mattapoisett, on the shores of Buzzard's Bay. My ancestors were among the founders of the Plymouth colony, and many of them had at some previous time been engaged in the whale fishery. A considerable eet of whalers had once sailed from our little port; but during the Civil War the rebel Alabama captured and burned most of it, and the industry was fast becoming a tradition among us. There were, how ever, still many retired seamen living in the town who were fond of relating their experiences, and my first and most pleasing recollections are of tales told by them.

Book excerpt: When the brig Alexander sailed out of San Francisco on a whaling voyage a few years ago, I was a member of her forecastle crew. Once outside the Golden Gate, I felt the swing of blue water under me for the first time in my life. I was not shanghaied. Let's have that settled at the start. I had shipped as a green hand before the mast for the adventure of the thing, because I wanted to go, for the glamor of the sea was upon me. I was taking breakfast in a San Francisco restaurant when, in glancing over the morning paper, I chanced across this advertisement: WANTED--Men for a whaling voyage; able seamen, ordinary seamen, and green hands. No experience necessary. Big money for a lucky voyage. Apply at Levy's, No. 12 Washington Street. Until that moment I had never dreamed of going to sea, but that small "ad." laid its spell upon my imagination. It was big with the lure of strange lands and climes, romance and fresh experiences. What did it matter that I had passed all my humdrum days on dry land? "No experience necessary!" There were the magic words staring me in the face. I gulped down my eggs and coffee and was off for the street called Washington. Levy's was a ship's outfitting store. A "runner" for the house--a hulking man with crafty eyes and a face almost as red as his hair and mustache--met me as I stepped in the door. He looked me over critically. His visual inventory must have been satisfactory. I was young.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Adventure in the South Pacific The present volume lays no claim to literary merit. Two young men, led to engage in the whale-fisheries, and spending five years in the employment, have oom piled from their log-books and their recollection a plain, unvarnished narrative of this period. The work is placed before the public as an account of localities few have visited, and the detail of an employment of which little is generally known. The chief effort in the way of style has been to give vivid descriptions, and make the reader the companion of the traveler. Aside from the information of the volume, it is enlivened by life on shipboard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
