Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Ocean Free-Lance: From a Privateersman´s Log, 1812 It was on a day in the summer of the year 1812, that being completely, and I may say mercifully, recovered from a long and trying illness, the seeds of which had been planted in me by a fever taken in Bombay twelve months before, I left my lodgings near Charing Cross to call upon a firm of ship-owners whose offices were in the City. When I was near Temple Bar, I observed a man look me very full and eagerly in the face j our eyes met, and I seemed to know him: but my mind being full of business, I was walking on without giving him further attention, when he came after me, and stopped me by laying his hand on my shoulder. ´Madison!´ cried he; ´why, this is a real stroke of luck! Only a minute ago I´d have given any man ten pounds to tell me how I might find you. Where have you been lying hidden all these months? and where are you bound to now?´ ´I am heartily glad to sec you again, Captain Shelvocke,´ said I, shaking his hand cordially. ´You´ll forgive me, I hope, for not immediately making out the old lines under that big beard You have not forsaken the old Bombay Castle, I hope, sir?´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
