Excerpt from The Story of a Sailor's Life I AM writing this to show the wonderful mercies the Lord has shown me in fifty years' life-time at sea, and I hope that whoever may have a chance to look at it, it will teach them not to despair, or give them selves up for lost for by perseverance, and a firm trust in the AI mighty, we can do anything that the Giver of all good will allow us to do; for there is a Sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, keeps a watch for the life of poor Jack. By accounts that I had from my friends, when I came to the years of' recollection, I was informed that I was born at sea, in the year of' our Lord 1777, on the 2otb of August my father being master of a brig belonging to Hull in Yorkshire, and when I was born, he was bound on a voyage from London to Hamburg. My mother being at sea along with her husband, and being at sea, and by contrary winds and bad weather being detained longer than what they expected, I was born on board of the J ane and Margaret, belonging to the port of Hull, when the brig was nearly abreast of' Heligoland, an island that lays at the entrance of Hamburg River; but my mother being very podrly, she and I were left at a place called Cuxhaven, at the entrance of the River Elbe. But my father being obliged to proceed upon his voyage, my mother and me were left at Hamburg at the consul's. And the winter setting in sooner and severer than B.

Excerpt from Thirty Years at Sea: The Story of a Sailor's Life Nearly all the incidents and scenes depicted in this book have been derived from the writer's own experience or from the relations of actors and eyewitnesses. Nothing in it is matter of pure invention except as to arrangement and the connecting links necessary to preserve the continuity of the narrative, fragments of which have given entertainment to so many listeners, old and young, as to encourage the hope that in a connected form it might interest a wider circle. The chapters describing the fight between the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the capture of Fort Fisher, have, in a slightly altered form, already appeared in Lippincott's Magazine, where they were divested of their connection with the hero of the narrative, and became a strictly accurate account of facts which came under the writer's observation.

Excerpt from The Story of the Seas: A Romance in Reality of a Sailor's Life Sunday came, a beautiful May day. In the morning we entered the English Channel, on our right lay the white sandy shore of Dover, England, and far to the left we could plainly see the outlines of the coast of France.' Hundreds of vessels of all shapes and sizes and plying in every direction, could be seen on all sides. It was my first Sunday away from home. I thought of my loved ones, as I had perhaps never thought before. I wondered what they were doing and what they were saying. I thought of the strange, sad look of my father, and his last words, Son, do your duty, rang in my ears and in my heart; but no; I would not be home sick. I had already become acquainted with a good many people among the crew Of the steamer, especially some of the other cabin boys. Her man was the deck Officer's boy and Robert, the petty Officer's boy. I seemed to be drawn to these two, and as the days went by we became more and more intimate. At night we would meet on the main deck and tell each other our troubles when sad or share each other's joys when glad, which was not often.

Excerpt from Fore and Aft: A Story of Actual Sea Life Having passed many pleasant hours in narrating reminiscences of fourteen months of ship life, I have prepared 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 representation of the average experiences of the American sailor, "fore and aft."

Excerpt from A Life's Voyage: A Diary of a Sailor on Sea and Land, Jotted Down During a Seventy-Years' Voyage The world of letters or literature has its combination of parts and particles, valuable and valueless, and it is only second in grandeur and greatness to the material world, and is the cradle of man's greatness. Without question man's nearest approach to God is in his intel lect and in his resolution, for resolution is omnipotent. Herein it is the intention, the premeditated design, to navigate both the deep, the shoal, the pacific, and the boisterous waters of the historical and the literary seas, and should necessity require, I shall sail close to the wind, but I must endeavor to steer clear of the dangerous rocks, Parody and Travesty. Some superficial critic may cry egotism. It would be beneficial to all such to peruse the immortal Vicar of Wakefield.
