Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sport, Travel and Adventure While there is an enormous number of books by individual travellers, there does not appear to be any collection of such stories as are here related - stories of the hairbreadth escapes of the big-game hunter, the thrilling adventures of the explorer of unknown lands, or the great risks faced by the climber in his attempt to conquer some virgin peak. Again, in many of the books written by early explorers are valuable descriptions of native life and of primitive customs, which have, through various causes, either undergone great change or died out altogether. Some of the volumes containing this important material are out of print, and a selection of the most interesting pages has been made. Owing to the very large number of books quoted from, it is impossible to mention them separately here, but the editor wishes to take this opportunity of thanking the authors for their kind permission to make extracts from their books, and also to express his indebtedness to Mr. T. Fisher Unwin for so generously placing his fine library of travel-books at his disposal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel, Adventure, and Sport, Vol. 1: From 'Blackwood's Magazine' One hint must especially be regarded, which was, to take care, on arrival at the lake, that I did not enter the village of a certain sultan called Mahaya, to whose district Muanza, at the southern extremity of the lake, they directed me to go. This precautionary warning was advanced in consequence of a trick the Sultan had played an Arab, who, after visiting him in a friendly way, was forcibly detained until he paid a ransom for himself; an unjust measure, which the Arabs pointedly advert to as destructive to commercial interests. To lose no time whilst the kirangozi was away - for I had a long business to do in a very short space of time - I intimated to the Shaykh, our Ras-cafila, and the Belooch guards, my intention of taking them with me to the lake, and ordered them to prepare for the journey by a certain date. The Shaykh demurred, saying he would give a definite answer about accompanying me before the time of starting, but subsequently refused (I hear, as one reason), because he did not consider me his chief. I urged that it was as much his duty as mine to go there; and said, unless he changed his present resolution, I should certainly recommend the Government not to pay the gratuity which the consul had promised him on condition that he worked entirely to our satisfaction, in assisting the expedition to carry out the Government's plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years in the Far East: Sketches of Sport, Travel and Adventure Travel, Sport and Adventure, as a tribute to the memory of the writer, my late husband, and I feel that some few words of explanation and introduction are necessary. It was his intention to have published them as soon as written, in the hope that the flattering winds, which favoured his first venture, The Land of the Dragon, might waft this slight craft on a successful voyage. As will be seen from the volume itself, he was full of the joy of living, and was always ready' when opportunity offered, to leave the monotony of official life and snatch a few weeks, or even days, in which to see new sights and meet with fresh experiences. He was always, on these occasions, the best of comrades, being uniformly cheerful and optimistic, and at all times full of resource, insight and charm.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel, Adventure, and Sport From Blackwood's Magazine, Vol. 5 During a residence of five years in Hungary, I have had some notable experiences of storms and floods. The first phenomenon of the kind which I witnessed was the remarkable storm of the 26th of June 1875. On that occasion a waterspout burst on the mountains behind Buda, and together with Wind and hail de stroyed a considerable amount of property in the town and neighbourhood, causing also the death of nearly sixty people. The fury of this storm was far exceeded by the catastrophe which occurred on the last night of August 1878, at Miskolcz and Erlau, in the north-east of Hungary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel, Adventure, and Sport From Blackwood's Magazine, Vol. 4 It was very late one evening when I arrived at the little village of Sallenches, in Savoy - then a cluster of the humblest ehdlets, and not as now, since the conflagration, a promising town - very footsore and dusty. At the door of the inn I met old Victor Tairraz, who then kept the Hotel de Londres at Chamouni, and was the father of the three brothers who now conduct it - one as maitre, the second as cook, and the third as head waiter. He hoped when I arrived at Chamouni that I would come to his house; and he gave me a printed card of his prices, with a View of the establishment at the top of it, in which every possible peak of the Mont Blanc chain that could be selected from all points of the compass was collected into one aspect, supposed to be the view from all the bedroom windows of the establish ment - in front, at the back, and on either side. I was annoyed at this card for I could not reconcile, at that golden time, my early dreams of the valley of Chamouni with the ordinary business of a Star-and Garter-like hotel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outing, Vol. 38: An Illustrated Magazine of Sport, Travel, Adventure, and Country Life; April 1901 But Bagley was game. He stuck to it. He put on all the strain he could and got in his line as the guide pushed the boat out toward the bar. As they approached it, Bagley found that his arms and fingers had become so lame he could do very little in the way of holding the fish, and the guide started back for the Pass. The moment he turned, and the fish felt the strain of the line, he simply bucked out to sea, right into the surf which was running high. The guide followed, pushing the boat out as far as he dared, while Bagley, unable to take another turn on the reel, had to sit there and see his line go out. All at once, however, the line stopped and Bagley began, cramped as he was, to reel in, thinking the fish had broken away. Then the fish broke water, coming toward the boat in leaps - no sooner back into the water than out again. He passed in a magnificent jump, breaking water alongside and within arm's length of the boat. Bagley was all alive now, and reeled in with might and main, intent on getting all the line possible. In fact, so intent was he that when the strain did come, it was with such a sudden jerk that the crank was knocked from between his thumb and forefinger, and spun around in the wrong direction with a scream that was really agonizing to the much enduring Bagley. He looked appealingly to Peter, the guide, as though to say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
