Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fore and Aft: A Story of Actual Sea Life Having passed many pleasant hours in narrating reminiscences of fourteen months of ship life, I have prepared this story because my friends thought that what they had enjoyed hearing, others might find interest in reading; and because so few true accounts have been given by persons who have themselves been sailors, and who write from actual experience. With the notable exception of Richard H. Dana´s "Two Years Before the Mast," there has been hardly a book giving a correct statement of the sailor´s life, with its many hardships and perils, and its few pleasures and enjoyments. I send my story out into the world, hoping that it may be found to be - what I have tried to make it - a truthful representation of the average experiences of the American sailor, "fore and aft."
