Description:Excerpt from On the Ebb: A Few Log-Lines From an Old Salt But before I close my Preface, let me say, seriously, you will find in the book the narrative of a voyage occupying six months in the brig Shepherdess, Captain Peter Storer, Master, with whom the author made several voyages in early life, commencing as cabin boy. It is rather lengthy, but as a matter of history I think you will find it interesting. The good old captain is well known as a perfect sailor and a strict disciplinarian. He is alive now - as good as new, and eighty-seven years old at that. He was my schoolmaster when I was suffering with that dreadful complaint, the 13-year-old fever, yet instructed me outside the usual Iron Rule enforced by the rope's end, in which discipline many a boy has been ruined. His word was law, and dif ferent from many other skippers, he knew when men did their duty. My education under him has endeared him to me, and I take great pleasure in respectfully dedicating that portion of the little book to him, and add the following, as breathing the true sentiments of my soul: Let day improve on day, and year on year, Without a pain, a trouble or a fear, Til] death unfelt that tender frame destroy In some soft dream, or ecstacy of joy; Peaceful sleep out the Sabbath of the tomb, And wake to raptures in a life to come.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
