Excerpt from Ocean Life in the Old Sailing Ship Days: From Forecastle to Quarter-Deck; With 29 Illustrations From Photographs "Captain, why don't you write a book?" This question has been often asked me when relating some tale of adventure or humorous anecdote of my sea life. "For the reason that I know nothing of book writing," I have replied. "A school experience of seventy years ago, cut short at the age of twelve years, was not likely to leave a boy, however bright, with a high order of literary attainment." But, as years rolled on, after giving up the sea as a profession, I concluded to jot down from memory my quarter-century's sea experience. The characters are from life, the scenes and incidents as they appeared to me at the time, in a story of a New England boy's career from the age of twelve to thirty-seven.

Excerpt from A Sea Trip in Clipper Ship Days On a chill gray afternoon in December, the good Ship, National Eagle, left the wharf in East Boston, bound for New Orleans. A group of relatives and friends, a few minutes before had filed down the gangway, and were still standing on the wharf, waving hats and handkerchiefs, as the ship, her moorings loosened and cast off, began to move slowly and majestically away from the pier. On board of her, as she glided away, in the waning light of the short winter afternoon, were the Captain; three officers or mates, designated as first, second and third; a carpenter; a steward; a cook; a crew of twenty or more men, known as "sailors before the mast"; and four younger men, called boys to distinguish them from the men of the crew. There were also two passengers, my sister and myself - daughters of the Captain. The Era of the Clipper Ship was the most picturesque, and perhaps the most profitable period, in the maritime life of the United States. It began about 1843 because of the growing demand for a quicker delivery of tea from China. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tonnage and Freeboard of Merchant Ships In the early days of sail it conveyed a fairly good idea of the relative Size and capacity of a ship, but the rapid advancement in the science of naval architecture since the introduction of steam has deprived the expres sion of its original signification, so that to-day it merely represents a kind of basis for levying dues and charges. There are various expressions which we may employ when speaking Of the size or capacity of a ship. Those in common use are displacement, deadweight, and registered tonnage (gross or net).

Excerpt from New Footsteps in Well-Trodden Ways There were three people on the good ship, New England - the best boat on the sea - who by all right and title should have crossed the Atlantic many a time - but who were going over for the first time in the early days of September, 1898. They confessed to one another their common dis-credit; and interchanged pledges not to reveal it to the man from South Africa who had crossed nine times between Port Elizabeth and Liverpool, and made a tour through the United States and Canada besides. One of them made a firm resolution not to give a lecture on the trip; and another pledged herself not to make a new book thereon. But "tell us how this or that impressed you" was urged so often on the latter that she yielded in wonted fashion to the solicitation of circumstance? and now breaks her good resolution by reprinting these notes of a trip in which sight-seeing was limited by diminished strength and heart for it, and a secret sympathy with the pilgrims who were fain, for the time being, to fill the fountain of Trevi from the river of Lethe.
