Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea Trader: His Friends and Enemies Those persons who appear to think that nothing is worth saying unless it is flagrantly in conflict with manifest truth, may perhaps think that I am inviting them to take a peep into the Obvious. It is obvious, as Obvious as Gibbon.'s maxim, that men must at all times have done what the nature of things forces them to do. And yet, like many no less useful self-evident propositions, it has been consistently disregarded, with the result that much learned trifling has been devoted to questioning what need never have been questioned, and to explaining what in reality explains itself. My purpose is not to enforce respect for commonplaces and the Obvious, but to justify the course I propose to take while attempting to describe what the life Of the sea trader has been at all times and in all seas.

Book Synopsis Ocean Trade and Shipping (Classic Reprint) by : Douglas Owen
Download or read book Ocean Trade and Shipping (Classic Reprint) written by Douglas Owen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ocean Trade and Shipping N der the general and very comprehensive head of Ocean Trade and Shipping come a whole host of separate industries and undertakings. Many of these, and of the rights and liabilities connected with them, have long been the subject of important treatises. To others of them, special reference may be found scattered in business publications here and there. In the case of many, however, it would be difficult to find treat ment of them anywhere. The whole, collectively, have apparently never been dealt with at all. And indeed to supply, in a single small volume, a summary of enterprises so many and so various must needs be a somewhat courageous undertaking. Still, by a process of selection, elimination and condensation, and with the kind and valuable aid of many expert business friends, I have done my best. It is of course an explanatory work, proceeding on broad lines, rather than a technical treatise. It does, however, as I hope, deal with many if not most of the subjects on which information will be useful or at any rate instructive to the naval and military officers for whom it is primarily intended. If this should prove so, I shall be content. To army officers, a knowledge of the machinery of shipping and its working must at the least be interesting, seeing that the transfer and maintenance of oversea forces involve its constant use, while in the event of war sea transport becomes for an imperial Power a military factor of the first importance.

Book excerpt: The first book in a seafaring fantasy trilogy that George R. R. Martin has described as “even better than the Farseer Trilogy—I didn’t think that was possible.” Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships—rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtown’s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia. For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Althea’s young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the Vivacia, the ship is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship—and the Vestrits—may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will. Don’t miss the magic of the Liveship Traders Trilogy: SHIP OF MAGIC • MAD SHIP • SHIP OF DESTINY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toilers of the Sea He set out like one fleeing from justice, and anxious to hide from human eyes. He shunned the eastern coast, as if he did not care to pass within Sight of St. Sampson and St. Peter's Port, and glided Silently along the opposite coast, which is comparatively uninhabited. It was necessary to ply the oars among the breakers; but Gilliatt managed them on scientific principles. Taking the water quietly, and dropping it with perfect regularity, he was able to move on in the darkness with very little noise and great rapidity. So stealthy were his movements that one might have supposed him bent Upon some evil deed. The fact is, though he was embarking in an enterprise which might well be called impossible, and was risking his life with every chance against him, his greatest fear was of some possible rival.

Book Synopsis The War Traders by : George Herbert Perris
Download or read book The War Traders written by George Herbert Perris and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Traders: An Exposure The substance of the following paper was read at the National Peace Congress, Leeds, on June 11, 1913. On the previous evening, in the House of Commons, in answer to a request that he would print lists of the larger Government contractors, Mr. Asquith had declined to satisfy what he called "a roving curiosity." It is so many years since my "curiosity" began to "rove" in this field that I should hardly have been drawn back to the subject at this time but for two considerations. The first arose from Dr. Liebknecht's revelations in the Reichstag, and the manner of their reception in this country. It seemed necessary to show that Germany has no monopoly of the evil here dealt with, and to state more emphatically than heretofore the chief corollary to the proposition so well argued by Mr. Norman Angell, that war does not, and as between great modern nations cannot, pay. War does not pay the nations. But war panics and preparations do, all the time and on an enormous scale, pay powerful groups of men in each nation; and it may be doubted whether any real peace will be achieved till this association of political power and the private trade in arms is broken. Secondly, the Marconi trials and inquiry have set up new currents of critical thought. Men who differ in their view of this melancholy episode may yet agree in hoping that it may result in a generally higher standard of public duty. But if that end is to be attained, there will have to be a much wider inquiry into the connection between Parliamentary or administrative power and private profit-making than has yet been attempted. Three motives meet, then, in the following pages- international peace, national economy, and purity of public life. I have sought to state the case in precise terms, and to exclude any statement as to fact that is not verifiable.

Book Synopsis Miss Ulysses from Puka-Puka by : Florence Frisbie
Download or read book Miss Ulysses from Puka-Puka written by Florence Frisbie and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miss Ulysses from Puka-Puka (2nd edition) by Florence (Johnny) Frisbie is the first book written by a Polynesian woman. It tells the amazing story of a young girl growing up on a remote island in the Cook Islands group. Written when Johnny was between the ages of 12 and 14, and published in 1948 when she was 15, Johnny likens her travels through South Pacific islands to those of Ulysses in the Odyssey. Through Johnny's fresh and unspoiled eyes, we read of a Garden-of-Eden existence on a remote atoll, where the land and the sea provide all that is necessary for life. The sea brings danger as well; Johnny describes the terror of a hurricane that all but destroys a deserted island where she and her family are marooned. The sea rises and floods the entire island to a depth of six feet; they barely survive by tying themselves to the topmost branches of a tall tree. Johnny's writing sparkles. She has humor and wisdom beyond her years as she describes life and customs on the island where she grew up. Her grandmother's extended family, the trading station operated by her father, the local witch doctor, a native missionary, her father's mistress after the death of her mother, and her first boyfriend are among the characters she describes with unflinching honesty. Cut off from the outside world, the island is so remote that six months pass between visits by passing ships. She learns at an early age to be self-reliant. Struck early by tragedy (her mother died when Johnny was nine years old), she helps her father care for four brothers and sisters until he falls ill and dies when she is sixteen. Friends including James A. Michener arrange a foster family in Hawaii where she pursues her education and re-unites with her two sisters. Out of print for more than sixty years, Johnny has added two new chapters to this classic and compelling book and illustrated it with family photos and three maps.

Download or read book The Organization of Ocean Commerce (Classic Reprint) written by J. Russell Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization of Ocean Commerce If the world's trade were divided into two classes, on the basis of distance, it would be found that land traffic was pre eminently the Short-distance trade and that the ocean was the route used mainly by the long-distance trade. Owing to the ease of water transportation, men seek out the ocean routes for freight whenever possible, and, as from any sea all seas may be reached, the average length of water routes is several times as great as the land routes. The ocean carrying trade is chiefly international trade, of which it comprises the most important part. The ocean is the great international highway, and, in the sense of owner ship, the only international highway. Many land routes carry commodities that cross international boundaries, but the routes, like all the valuable land in the world, are within the jurisdiction of some particular country, and, further, are the property of particular persons or groups of persons. The ocean is more international because it is the property of all, and open and free to all. No nation claims more than three miles from its coast and beyond that any man from any nation may sail his Ship where he will over the common ocean, which covers three-fourths of the surface of the globe and washes the shores of all important countries. Besides being large and free the ocean furnishes the cheapest of all forms of transportation, and with these advantages it is natural that maritime commerce should be by far the greater element in international exchanges, as well as a very important part of many domestic trades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Warfare In the late French wars, a merchant sailing out of a Channel port might in a few hours find himself laid by the heels and under way for a French prison. His Majesty's ships of the Line, and even the big frigates, took little part in policing the waters for him, unless he Were in convoy. The sloops, cutters, gun-brigs, and local craft of all kinds were supposed to look after that, while the Line was busy elsewhere. So the merchants passed resolutions against the inadequate protection afforded to the trade, and the narrow seas were full of single-ship actions; mail-packets, West Country brigs, and fat East Indiamen fight ing, for their own hulls and cargo, anything that the watchful French ports sent against them; the sloops and cutters bearing a hand if they happened to be within reach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
