Excerpt from Sea-Lore To the author who so succinctly introduces his book that we can decide then and there, without wasting any time, whether this is the sort of book that edifies us, amuses us, or instructs us. Here the writer's task should be simple. This is a popular work on sailing-ships, the sea, and sailors; in short, the lore of the sea, written mainly for landsmen by one who loves the sea and ships, not for their tragedies and their sordid side, but for their beauty and inspiration. This book aspires to nothing higher than to be an introduction to a further interest in the subject. It informs a little (to those who wish to be informed), and it diverts a little (for those who seek an entertainment). It discusses, in a non-technical manner, most aspects of life at sea and ships in the old days of sail. There are signs of a general renaissance of interest in the sea and ships, and any propaganda that can be contributed to this most wholesome trend is all to the good. Furthermore, it is not too much to say that the matter is presented in an entirely new guise. Writers are frequently at the mercy of their illustrators, for it is plain that no two minds can think exactly alike, and the author is fortunate who gets his text adorned just as he wants it to be. The remedy, then, is to do one's own illustrations, a plan which has been carried out in the present case, and if the author finds fault with the manner of illustrating and decorating the text he.

Excerpt from The Flying Cloud: A Story of the Sea It was magical, wonderful, past all whooping, to be young and to be alive, and to be on the deck of a great ship in a gale. Consider, you who have been to sea, and have indeed seen things, and known, maybe, many Hurricanes and Cyclones and Typhoons, and the Roaring Forties, and running down the Easting, and all the seven and seventeen seas of this strange round world of sea (wherein there is a little inconsiderable land); consider, I say, what it was to face your first big gale, if in your boy's heart there were but half the natural courage of a boy who loved the sea ignorantly and all its mighty works! Magic is no word for it; there are no words. To paint it one asks those who know to come and bring their hearts' knew.

Excerpt from Fore and Aft: A Story of Actual Sea Life Having passed many pleasant hours in narrating remi niscences of fourteen months of ship life, I have pre pared 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 represou tation of the average experiences of the American sailor, fore and aft.

Excerpt from The Cruise of the Frolic: A Sea Story The "Cruise of the 'Frolic'" has already met with so many marks of favor, that it is hoped it will be welcomed not the less warmly in its new and more attractive form. The yachting world especially received the narrative of my adventures in good part; two or three, however, among whom was the O'Wiggins, insisted that I had caricatured them, and talked of demanding satisfaction at the point of the sword, or the muzzle of a pistol. I assured them then, as I do now, that on the word of an officer and a gentleman, I had not the slightest intention of wounding the feelings of any human being; and I entreated their pardon, if in shooting at a venture I had hit an object at which I had not taken aim.
