Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Captain Waters, and Bill His Bo´son a Tale of the Ocean and the Farm The manuscript of this work was placed in my hands, for examination, some weeks since. I took it home and read it aloud to my four boys, their ages varying from 9 to 15 years. So absorbed did they all become in the development of the story, with its fascinating descriptions of "Life upon the Ocean Wave" that they could not be persuaded to go to bed, without a promise from me, that I would stop where I was, and resume the reading on the following evening. Being satisfied that it could not fail to interest every youthful mind, I tested it still further upon cultivated adults, and with similar results. The work is now offered to the public, in the confident belief that it will prove to be one of the most readable works on sea life, which has appeared for many years. The reader will soon find that it is not a concoction of land-lub-ber-isms, but a veritable transcript of actualities, faithfully drawn by an "Old Salt;" being a history of the life-long experiences of the Captain, his Bo´son and dog. Bill the Bo´son is a phenomenon; a genuine salt upon the ocean, and sui-generis in navigating a farm, - especially so in his encounter with the venerable Patriarch of the sheep-fold. Bill will henceforth figure in Ocean Literature with "Ratlin the Reefer," "Robinson Crusoe," and other worthies of that ilk.
