The first night on the island after the wreck of the Rainier was anxiously passed, all hands keeping watch, expecting every moment the natives would attack and kill us; but the following day dispelled all fears, as they appeared friendly and brought cocoanuts and pandanas, but would give nothing except in return for clothing or some small article. The king, however, seemed to think he would reap a rich reward in the course of time; so he sent the captain plenty of cocoanuts. The captain then hired the king to go down to the wreck and see if anything could be obtained, promising him in payment one axe and three muskets when he should leave the island. Twelve rifles had been saved from the ship and these were kept loaded in the captain's house, ready at a moment's notice. The king consented to go down himself in the big canoe. So, taking the three boats which had been saved in tow, he proceeded down the lagoon to the wreck. The second and third officers, with some of the men, went in the canoe with the king. The canoe with the boats in tow returned at night with some provisions and some of the head sails. The second officer reported the main and mizzenmasts gone, the stern of the ship smashed in, and the cargo fast washing out. The provisions had all been taken from the lazerette and carried forward during the night after the ship had struck. The next day the boats went down, but got nothing but a few cases of oil, and reported the ship fast breaking up, the seas washing clean over her. So the good ship Rainier was a total wreck. The first Sunday was a gloomy one, but the captain's orders were duly observed, and so we waited for the morrow to make plans as to what course to pursue. On Monday morning...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true and remarkable life of Richard Willis (Will) Jackson, an intrepid seaman from one of the leading shipbuilding families in 19th century Maine, whose exploits and adventures in the oceans of the world would rival characters straight out of the lives and imaginations of Joseph Conrad and Jack London. Will Jackson survived a harrowing shipwreck in the Marshall Islands, being washed overboard rounding Cape Horn and running down Alaskan glaciers over a tragically shortened life that ended in a most bizarre and pedestrian incident on the eve of realizing his life’s ambition: appointment as master of a ship. After nine months of sometimes perilous life among natives in the South Sea islands in 1884, captured in chapters of a book he helped write, Jackson served on a series of large ships and coastal schooners – all based in the post-Gold Rush boomtown of San Francisco – that took him up and down the west coast from Alaska to Mexico and to the four corners of the earth. His faithful letters to his family in Maine and a diary provide a colorful background for a compelling portrait of an extraordinary young man of character and independent spirit, intellect and curiosity, no small ambition and that most admirable of traits, an abiding sense of humor.

Download or read book A Thousand Points of Truth written by V. P. Hughes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My interest in Colonel John Singleton Mosby began in 1950. However, it wasn’t until 2002 that it led to extensive research on the subject, centered upon newspaper reports on the man begun during the Civil War and continued throughout—and even after—his life. And while I rejected Virgil Carrington Jones’s observation on Mosby, contained in the preface of this work, I did not contemplate writing this book until an even more disparaging observation came to my attention during my research. The comment was contained in an article in the Ponchatoula Times of May 26, 1963, as part of a six-article series written by Bernard Vincent McMahon, entitled The Gray Ghost of the Confederacy. Mr. McMahon, in turn, based his comment upon General Omar Bradley’s judgment of what might have been the postwar life of General George Patton: “Now substitute Mosby for General Patton in the book ‘A General’s Life,’ by Omar Bradley . . . ‘I believe it was better for General Patton [Mosby] and his professional reputation that he died when he did . . . He would have gone into retirement hungering for the old limelight, beyond doubt indiscreetly sounding off on any subject anytime, any place. In time he would have become a boring parody of himself—a decrepit, bitter, pitiful figure, unwittingly debasing the legend’” (emphasis mine). McMahon, however, only proffered in his writings the widely accepted view of John Mosby held by many, if not most. However, like General Ulysses S. Grant, I have come to know Colonel Mosby rather more intimately through the testimony of countless witnesses over a span of 150 years, and I believe that it is time for those who deeply respect John Mosby the soldier to now also respect John Mosby the man. A century ago, the book of John Singleton Mosby’s life closed. It is my hope that this book will validate the claim he made during that life that he would be vindicated by time. V. P. Hughes
