Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Mariner´s Chronicle: Containing Narratives of the Most Remarkable Disasters at Sea, Such as Shipwrecks, Storms, Fires, and Famines; Also Naval Engagements, Piratical, Adventures, Incidents of Discovery, and Other Extraordinary and Interesting Occurrences It may be truly said that no reading, not fictitious, is so interesting and exciting, as Narratives of Maritime Adventure. The imminent peril of life, on the uncertain element, and the surer horrors of thirst and famine, when cast on a desert coast, give to the incidents of storms and shipwrecks, such force and power in awakening attention, that narratives of such events are among the first to attract youth, and among the last to interest old age. The seaman´s life is, above all others, one of adventure. Truly he may say, he knows not "what to-morrow will bring forth." Now he may be scudding along cheerily, with a light and steady breeze, or resting motionless, on the bosom of a calm. The next moment, the clouds may gather, the winds rise, and the ocean be roused into fury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
