At the age of eighteen he shipped as a sailor before the mast, to Liverpool. Four years after he set out upon a whaling voyage in the South Pacific. On account of the abuse of the captain, he ran away from the ship at one of the Marquesas Islands. After many adventures, which he narrates in his "Typee," he made his escape on board a whaler. About 1850 he took up his residence at Pittsfield, Mass., but subsequently removed to New York, where he was appointed to a place in the Custom. House. His works are "Typee, a Peep at Polynesian Life" (1846); "Omoo, a Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas" (1847); "Mardi, and a Voyage Thither" (1848); "Redburn" (1848); "White Jacket, or the World in a Man-of-War" (1850); "Pierre, or the Ambiguities" (1852); "Moby Dick, or the White Whale" (1851); "Israel Potter, His Fifty Years of Exile" (1855); "The Piazza Tales" (1856); "The Confidence Man" (1857); "Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War," a volume of poems (1866); "Clarel, a Pilgrimage in the Holy Land," a poem (1876); "John Marr and Other Sailors," a story (1888); and "Timoleon," poems (1891). Perilous Passage Of A Ravine - Descent Into The Typee Valley. (From "Typee.") The fearless confidence of Toby was contagious, and I began to adopt the Happar side of the question. I could not, however, overcome a certain feeling of trepidation as we made our way along these gloomy solitudes. Our progress, at first comparatively easy, became more and more difficult.
