Book Description
Excerpt from The Strife of the Sea The day was beautiful and the sunshine was hot. The warm current of the Gulf flowed silently now with the gentle southwest wind, and the white sails of the spongers from Havana and Key West began to dot the horizon. Here and there a large barracouta or albicore would dart like a streak of shimmering silver through the liquid, and the old man would cast his glance in the direction of the vanishing point with a ready pinion to sweep headlong at the mullet or sailor's-choice which were being pursued.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of the Sea When I was asked to write "a volume of autobiographical recollections" I felt somewhat staggered at the mere look of such a request, and even after taking time to consider it, and to suggest a more modest title, I felt considerable doubt as to whether anything I could write concerning my reminiscences of naval service during the latter half of the nineteenth century could be of sufficient interest to justify its publication, particularly as several superannuated old sailors, with far more distinguished careers than I have had, have lately been giving their "autobiographical recollections" to the public. But yet, on further consideration, and feeling that I was an unhappy victim of that universal - yes, universal - vanity of loving to hear the sound of my own voice and of seeing myself in print, I have succumbed to this temptation - as to many others, perhaps less innocent.

Book Description
Excerpt from Out of the Sunset Sea Everything was at once astir. Food was served, prayers were read by the Admiral, who was as glib and ready at the business as if he had been trained for the Church rather than the quarter-deck, as, indeed, some said he was, and became apostate through unholy dealings with the Evil One. The watches were conned; the sails were loosed; the Windlass cleared to raise the anchor, when out of the fog, just opposite my post, there came a hail, which, before Ithought, I had answered with a challenge as if I were a sentinel on post rather than a sailor on duty under his Officer's eye. In much confusion I turned to report the hail to the Master, Juan de la Cosa, who had charge Of the watch and who stood near, over looking the work Of getting under way.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of the Blue Sea The Song Of The Larboard Berth When moonlight flecks the cruiser's decks And engines rumble slow, When Drake's own star is bright above And Time has gone below, They may hear who list the far-off sound Of a long-dead never-dead mirth, In the mid watch still they may hear who will The song of the Larboard Berth. In a dandy frigate or a well-found brig, In a sloop or a seventy-four, In a great First-rate with an Admiral's flag, And a hundred guns or more, In a fair light air, in a dead foul wind, At midnight or midday, Till the good ship sink her mids shall drink To the King and the King's Highway! The mids they hear - no fear, no fear! They know their own ship's ghost: Their young blood beasts to the same old song And roars to the same old toast. So long as the sea-wind blows unbound And the sea-wave breaks in spray, For the Island's sons the word still runs "The King, and the King's Highway!"
