Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cruise of the Frolic: A Sea Story The "Cruise of the 'Frolic'" has already met with so many marks of favor, that it is hoped it will be welcomed not the less warmly in its new and more attractive form. The yachting world especially received the narrative of my adventures in good part; two or three, however, among whom was the O'Wiggins, insisted that I had caricatured them, and talked of demanding satisfaction at the point of the sword, or the muzzle of a pistol. I assured them then, as I do now, that on the word of an officer and a gentleman, I had not the slightest intention of wounding the feelings of any human being; and I entreated their pardon, if in shooting at a venture I had hit an object at which I had not taken aim.

Download or read book Thirty Years at Sea written by E. Shippen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty Years at Sea: The Story of a Sailor's Life Nearly all the incidents and scenes depicted in this book have been derived from the-writer's own experience or from the relations of actors and eye witnesses. Nothing in it is matter of pure invention except as to arrangement and the connecting links necessary to preserve the continuity of the narrative, fragments of which have given entertainment to so many listeners, old and young, as to encourage the hope that in a connected form it might interest a wider circle. The chapters describing the fight be tween the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the capture of Fort Fisher, have, in a slightly altered form, already appeared in Lippincott's Magazine, where they were divested of their connection with the hero of the narrative, and became a strictly accurate account of facts which came under the writer's observation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ocean Life in the Old Sailing Ship Days: From Forecastle to Quarter-Deck; With 29 Illustrations From Photographs This question has been often asked me when relating some tale of adventure or humorous anecdote of my sea life. For the reason that I know nothing of book writing, I have replied. A school experience of seventy years ago, cut short at the age of twelve years, was not likely to leave a boy, however bright, with a high order of literary attainment. But, as years rolled on, after giving up the sea as a profession, I concluded to jot down from memory my quarter-century's sea experience. The characters are from life, the scenes and incidents as they appeared to me at the time, in a story of a New England boy's career from the age of twelve to thirty seven.

We ran a pole through the ox from end to end, and then placed the ends of this pole upon two forked tree-trunks which had been securely planted in the earth. A trench was dug under him in which a fire was built, and a windlass arranged with which to turn him at inter CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY. vals, while a committee detailed from the crew dredged him with flour and basted him every hour. At ten o'clock all hands were called to "splice the mainbrace." Not a man being sick, all indulged. After this the commodore ordered the starboard watch on the right and the larboard on the left, and then he produced a foot-ball, gave it a tremendous kick which sent it high into the air, and sang out, " Sail in, my shipmates!" We did sail in. With others I got my shins barked from my ankles to my knees, but never got so much as a kick at the ball. At eight bells, noon, the grog was rolled and all hands piped to dinner. When we repaired to the barbecue the Indians had gathered in large numbers, looking silently but wistfully at the novel sight before them. The ox proved to be as tender as a lamb. In firing the salute at midday, Daniel Whitehorn, one of our quarter-gunners, ramming home a charge, had his arm dreadfully lacerated by the unexpected discharge of the gun. This accident put a momentary stop to our hilarity. His messmates took him in charge and soothed his wounds. Jack before the mast is familiar with such scenes as this. A shipmate falling from aloft, thrown from a yard, getting washed overboard in a gale, getting tied up to the rigging or his back lacerated with the cats, getting knocked down with a hand-spike by the captain or one of his mates, -- witnessing such scenes it becomes his nature to weep with them that weep and to...
Download or read book The Rubi written by Frederick W. Mant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rubi: A Tale of the Sea Of the story produced from these sources, many of the particular incidents are historical facts. Many, at the same time, are imaginary; while the structure of the whole in a connected narrative is purely fictitious. The scene is laid first in the Caribbean sea; then in a bay on the south-eastern coast of the Island of Cuba; and, lastly, among the keys or islets of the Bay of Honduras. The time occupied by the action is a period of thirty days, twenty of which are supposed to elapse between the conclusion of the first Canto, and the opening of the second; and about eight or nine early in the sixth. The remaining space of about thirty hours is occupied by the inter mediate Cantos. The tale is entitled Tm: Rom, after the Pirate ship, which is, so to speak, the hero, or more properly the heroine, of the story. The Pirates are represented in conformity with their historical character; for it has been no part of the purpose of the author to extenuate the enormity of vice, much less to invest it with the semblance of virtue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Blue Sea The stories in this book are not fiction, for every page of them is a record of fact. But neither are they history, in the ordinary sense of that dry Word; they are pictures of real naval life in the days of Nelson, pictures of sea service and sea fights as they looked at the moment to those for whom they were not yet historical events, but fresh per sonal adventures. And they are seen through the eyes of boys - not entirely, because boys grow up and are promoted, but each one of them is the record of a boy's career from the moment of his first going to sea. To these is added the story of Trafalgar, which gives meaning and unity to all the rest of that period; and this account of the battle is the first published since the report of the recent Admiralty Committee.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Polar Sea: A Narrative of a Voyage of Discovery Towards the North Pole, in the Schooner "United States" The interest which has been freshly awakened in the progress of Arctic discovery by the recent expeditions towards the North Pole has appeared to justify my experienced publisher in issuing a new edition of this work, about which it may not be inappropriate to observe here, as in the Preface to the former edition, that, rather than confine myself strictly to a record of scientific investigations, I have aimed, so far as the narrative would allow, to bring before the mind of the reader a general picture of the strange life and sublime scenery of a quarter of the world to which we have all been drawn, from childhood, by the ever-powerful charm of the mysterious and unknown.

Book Synopsis Teaching Anglophone Caribbean Literature by : Supriya M. Nair
Download or read book Teaching Anglophone Caribbean Literature written by Supriya M. Nair and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume recognizes that the most challenging aspect of introducing students to anglophone Caribbean literature--the sheer variety of intellectual and artistic traditions in Western and non-Western cultures that relate to it--also offers the greatest opportunities to teachers. Courses on anglophone literature in the Caribbean can consider the region's specific histories and contexts even as they explore common issues: the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and colonial education; nationalism; exile and migration; identity and hybridity; class and racial conflict; gender and sexuality; religion and ritual. This volume considers how the availability of materials shapes syllabuses and recommends print, digital, and visual resources for teaching. The essays examine a host of topics, including the following: the development of multiethnic populations in the Caribbean and the role of various creole languages in the literature oral art forms, such as dub poetry and reggae music the influence of anglophone literature in the Caribbean on literary movements outside it, such as the Harlem Renaissance and black British writing Carnival religious rituals and beliefs specific genres such as slave narratives and autobiography film and drama the economics of rum Many essays list resources for further reading, and the volume concludes with a section of additional teaching resources.
