Download or read book Running the Blockade (Classic Reprint) written by William Henry Thomes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Running the Blockade A wound, no trifling one, has laid me on the shelf for some months. My hull is shattered with rough weather, hard work, and constant excitement and peril. Yet I am a young man, not over twenty-eight, and at one time pos sessed a constitution as tough as a nor'wester, and the strength of a steam-tug. Rest may restore me, medicine may heal my wounds, kind treatment may banish the fan cies that at times take possession of my mind as I think of the past but no earthly power can ever make me forget all that I have endured and suffered for the Union's sake. And now, while I am racked with pain, unable to muster at quarters, with no immediate chance of once more snuff ing salt water, I can while away my time by writing an account of my adventures, more for the purpose of showing how secret-service duties were carried on, and what means our government resorted to for the purpose of entrapping the rebels, breaking up blockade-running, and gaining information of Southern movements, than for personal aggrandizement, or pecuniary benefit. One word as to my previous history, for I want to commence my yarn with a fair wind and a smooth sea, so that my readers may understand me and my motives. I always like to have a plain talk with my men when I sail from port, so why should I not call all hands aft on this voyage, and tell them all about my personal affairs? I arrived home, in the year 1862, in command of an East India ship, owned in Boston by Blank, Hawser 85 co., for whom I had sailed ten years, as boy, man, mate, and master. The firm was an Old one, rich and influential, with stores and warehouses located on Lewis's Wharf, with nice, carpeted Offices, old, gray-headed clerks, ponderous books, formidable safes, and colored charts of all parts Of the world, which hung on the walls, and were Often consulted by the house when a ship was to be despatched on a long and uncertain voyage.

Book Synopsis Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Carr Pearson
Download or read book Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Book Synopsis The Law of Blockade (Classic Reprint) by : A. Maurice Low
Download or read book The Law of Blockade (Classic Reprint) written by A. Maurice Low and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Blockade The right of a nation at war to close the ports of its enemy so as to prevent him securing food or military supplies is as old as war itself. This is known as a blockade. It was practiced by the Greeks and the Romans. It is the complement on sea of operations on land. Cities and forts have always been blockaded by armies, the purpose being to prevent their inhabitants or garrisons from receiving assistance and to force their surrender through exhaustion. A sea blockade aims to accomplish the same purpose on a grander scale. It is directed not against a single fortress or city, but a whole people. There is a difference in degree, but no difference in effect. In a beleaguered fortress a few thousand, sometimes many thousand, persons suffer hunger, they die because they are deprived of drugs and other medical necessities. When an entire coast is under blockade the deaths and the misery are multiplied tenfold, a hundred-fold, a thousand-fold. This is one of the brutalities of war. The land belongs to nations, each sovereign over its own, the sea belongs to all. National jurisdiction extends to one marine league, or three land miles, beyond the coast line, outside of that the heaving waters are common property: the high seas have been given over, by consent of mankind, to the free use of man, subject only to such restrictions as civilization and experience have proved to be for the general good. In war nations close their barriers. It is a military measure, and he who ignores the warning does so at his peril. For an alien to attempt to enter belligerent territory is to run grave risk; he may suffer a long term of imprisonment, very often death; his goods can be confiscated. His intentions may be innocent, he may simply endeavour to cross from his own neutral country through that of the enemy to another neutral country, but his intent docs not save him. Whenever lie sets foot in the country at war he hazards his property, his liberty or his life. To complete the isolation measures are taken to prevent intrusion from the sea. International law sanctions blockade and provides a penalty for its violation. When a port is blockaded and a neutral vessel attempts to enter, it may be seized and the vessel and cargo become "lawful prize," that is the property of the captor as the spoils of war. There is, it will be seen, no difference between the penalty on land or sea, only the law of the sea is more merciful.

Book Synopsis Pacific Blockade (Classic Reprint) by : Albert E. Hogan
Download or read book Pacific Blockade (Classic Reprint) written by Albert E. Hogan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pacific Blockade While much has been written and said of late years, and rightly so, with regard to arbitration as a means of settling international disputes, little notice has been taken of the subject of pacific blockade. And yet during the last eighty years, pacific blockades have been the means of bringing a number of such disputes to a peaceful conclusion. It is strange that although Great Britain has been, perhaps more than any other nation, responsible for the development of the practice, there is no work in the English language dealing with it at any length. It was with a view to remedying this omission that this work was undertaken. The materials for it had to be collected in the odd times that a somewhat scant amount of leisure afforded during the last three years. If, therefore, the following pages Show any lack of proportion. Or arrangement the author trusts the long period over which their compilation has necessarily extended will be accepted as an excuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Narrative of a Blockade-Runner In deference to the judgement of two or three literary friends, I have entitled this, my first attempt at authorship, "The Narrative of a Blockade-runner." They do not agree with Shakspeare that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," to the reading public; nor that it is always advisable to call a thing by its proper name. It will be seen, however, by any reader who has the patience to peruse the work, that it embraces a wider scope than its title would imply. I have endeavored to give a full account of the passage by the U. S. fleet of the forts below New Orleans; and to contribute some facts that will probably settle the controversy, in the judgment of the reader, as to the real captors of that city. "Honor to whom honor is due." It will be seen that I have been favored with access to Commodore Mitchell's official report of that conflict, a document never published.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of a Blockade Runner, or Trade in Time of War The writer has neither the knowledge nor the capability to attempt to write anything like a history or treatise on this subject; he therefore confines himself to a brief detail of his own acts and experience, and what came under his own observation. The idea of blockade running during that war has been generally depicted by swift steamers running into Charleston and other ports In the Atlantic States, and it was there that it was chiefly carried on during the earlier part of the war when the blockade was somewhat inefficient. It has also been supposed by some that the danger of capture lay only in passing through the blockading fleet while entering or leaving a port, and that beyond the limits of the blockaded port no danger existed this was a mistaken idea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Running the Blockade: A Personal Narrative of Adventures, Risks and Escapes During the American Civil War The importance then of studying every scrap of information on the subject in order to perfect our knowledge of the art of blockade cannot be exaggerated, and Mr. Taylor's simple and straightforward record of his ex periences may claim to be perhaps the fullest contribution to the subject that as yet exists. Experiences of individual captains we have had, and, read with the present work, they are of high value: but Mr. Taylor has something more to tell. N 0t only did he run the blockade personally a greater number of times than any one else, but, boy as he was at the time, he was the chief organiser of a great and systematised attack on the Northern blockade, such as the world had never seen before. His operations may be said to have opened a new era in the history of blockade, and one which bids fair to have far-reaching consequences for every maritime Power.
