Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Swell Life at Sea: Or Fun, Frigates, and Yachting; A Collection of Nautical Yarns In presenting the present Volume to the reading public, we have thought that a word or two of preface would not be out of place. We have always believed that all that was necessary to make a Volume of Nautical Tales popular and acceptable, was to get it up in a good shape, and place it properly before the world. The ocean is a vast store-house, from which Literature can extract as many valuables as Commerce. Sea life abounds so greatly in incidents, that nautical tales ever possess a freshness that no other species of composition can possibly lay claim to. In the course of a single year, a maritime officer will pass over a large portion of the world. He starts from New York or London, and in a few days he finds himself surrounded by the aroma of the tropics.
