Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Standard Novels, Vol. 1 It has happened to few naval officers like the late Captain Marryat, the gifted author of the following story, to distinguish themselves professionally so much, and to acquire such eminence in literature as he did, - an eminence which will endure as long as genius, wit, and humour are appreciated among us. Captain Marryat was born July 10, 1792, and entered the navy September 23, 1806, as a first-class boy on board the Imperieuse, 44 guns, and had the honour to assist in the many gallant actions performed by the justly renowned Lord Cochrane. During this period of service, which lasted till the 18th October, 1809, he was in upwards of fifty engagements, in which many armed vessels, as well as merchantmen, were cut out, on the coast of France and in the Mediterranean. Within one month he was present at the capture of three French national transports and twelve merchant vessels, and at the demolition of the Fort Roquette, at the entrance of the Arcasson, he served in the boats, when they sustained a loss of 16 men killed and wounded, in effecting the capture of a Maltese privateer.
