Book Description
Excerpt from Christmas in Narragansett Quite a wondering crowd surrounded him. He had summoned one or two of the fishing gang to help - stout fellows, who had been aloft in a gale, and were not afraid to sway back and forward if the wind blew. Tom Grinnell, the Singing gaberlunzie, who looks in upon all the people along the shore from Pint Judy Pint as far as the Gilmans, at Norwich Town, was look ing on. A belated Italian, with his bear, working south ward, could not resist the attraction. Oliver was there - half Indian, half negro, half white man, and general purveyor. He had a Chinaman's yoke on his neck, and bore clams in a pail hanging from each arm of it. The telephone interested him, as it interested all the neigh bors - his time was Of little value to him, for'he had all the time there was - and he laid aside his burden for the moment, to render any needed assistance. Indeed, the neighborhood lived, in a fashion, on the feudal system. Colonel Ingham, then, sat on horseback watching Larkin, who, at the top Of the pole, was handling his monkey-wrench and driving his bolts as skilfully as if he had been standing at a comfortable work-bench. That will hold, said Larkin, cheerily, through another September gale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Two days after Christmas in 1738, a British merchant ship traveling from Rotterdam to Philadelphia grounded in a blizzard on the northern tip of Block Island, twelve miles off the Rhode Island coast. The ship carried emigrants from the Palatinate and its neighboring territories in what is now southwest Germany. The 105 passengers and crew on board-sick, frozen, and starving-were all that remained of the 340 men, women, and children who had left their homeland the previous spring. They now found themselves castaways, on the verge of death, and at the mercy of a community of strangers whose language they did not speak. Shortly after the wreck, rumors began to circulate that the passengers had been mistreated by the ship's crew and by some of the islanders. The stories persisted, transforming over time as stories do and, in less than a hundred years, two terrifying versions of the event had emerged. In one account, the crew murdered the captain, extorted money from the passengers by prolonging the voyage and withholding food, then abandoned ship. In the other, the islanders lured the ship ashore with a false signal light, then murdered and robbed all on board. Some claimed the ship was set ablaze to hide evidence of these crimes, their stories fueled by reports of a fiery ghost ship first seen drifting in Block Island Sound on the one-year anniversary of the wreck. These tales became known as the legend of the Palatine, the name given to the ship in later years, when its original name had been long forgotten. The flaming apparition was nicknamed the Palatine Light. The eerie phenomenon has been witnessed by hundreds of people over the centuries, and numerous scientific theories have been offered as to its origin. Its continued reappearances, along with the attention of some of nineteenth-century America's most notable writers-among them Richard Henry Dana Sr., John Greenleaf Whittier, Edward Everett Hale, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson-has helped keep the legend alive. This despite evidence that the vessel, whose actual name was the Princess Augusta, was never abandoned, lured ashore, or destroyed by fire. So how did the rumors begin? What really happened to the Princess Augusta and the passengers she carried on her final, fatal voyage? Through years of painstaking research, Jill Farinelli reconstructs the origins of one of New England's most chilling maritime mysteries.
