Sam is desperate to leave his sleepy Norfolk village and see the world. He seizes the chance to join a merchant ship but soon discovers that a life at sea is harsh and often short, especially when his ship is attacked by a French privateer. About to be boarded, they fear all is lost, but the privateers are driven off by the appearance of a Royal Navy ship. Sam's relief is short-lived. Soon after, another Navy ship sends over a press gang, and he is forced to join the frigate Miranda. War with France and Spain is raging and Sam is caught in the middle with a dangerous job as a powder monkey in the company of a brutal crew. An amazingly well-researched adventure giving a glimpse of one boy's incredible life at sea.

Suicide has become almost an epidemic in the United States, with an average of 523 adults and teens committing suicide every week. Yet the issue of suicide is something that many Americans have not felt capable of handling. Still, the questions arise: What are the spiritual implications of suicide? Is suicide the unpardonable sin? What does God say on this subject? The answers to these questions and a host of related ones are found in this book. The purpose of this book is to share God's truth about suicide and to comfort the hearts of those who mourn. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will do so with an open heart, and with the mindset to discover the truth. Additionally, my prayer is that people will find peace through the liberation of the Word and will help others who are weary and heavy laden to find it also. front cover design by a'lexa's designs

Talking the matter over, it was objected that such a story might offend peaceable folk, because it must deal too much with blood and gunpowder. Mr Kingston, although famed as a narrator of sea-fights, was a lover of peace, and he said that his story would not encourage the war spirit. Those who cared chiefly to read about battles might turn to the pages of ÒBritish Naval History.Ó He chose the period of the great war for his story, because it was a time of stirring events and adventures. The main part of the narrative belongs to the early years of life, in which boys would feel most interest and sympathy. And throughout the tale, not ÒgloryÓ but ÒdutyÓ is the object set before the youthful reader. It was further objected that the title of the story set before boys an impossible object of ambition. The French have a saying, that Òevery soldier carries in his knapsack a marshalÕs baton,Ó meaning that the way is open for rising to the very highest rank in their army. But who ever heard of a sailor lad rising to be an Admiral in the British Navy? Let us see how history answers this question. There was a great sea captain of other days, whose fame is not eclipsed by the glorious reputations of later wars, Admiral Benbow. In the reign of Queen Anne, before the great Duke of Marlborough had begun his victorious career, Benbow had broken the power of France on the sea. Rank and routine were powerful in those days, as now; but when a time of peril comes, the best man is wanted, and Benbow was promoted out of turn, by royal command, to the rank of Vice-Admiral, and went after the fleet of Admiral Ducasse to the West Indies. In the little church of Saint AndrewÕs, Kingston, Jamaica, his body lies, and the memorial stone speaks of him as Òa true pattern of English courage, who lost his life in defence of queen and country.Ó

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.

"No, sir," said the little boy, shrinking; for the man now took a step forward and clapped a big, brown, tarry hand upon his shoulder. "Then why can't yer understand yer own lingo?" "I do, sir," said the boy, with a sound like a sob. "Then why did you say you didn't, and make me think you was a Frenchy?" "I didn't know what you meant, sir, by 'hilli' something, and 'what cheer.'" "Why, yer young savage!" cried the man. "Arn't yer never been to school?" "Yes, sir, and had a tutor." "A tutor, eh? What may that be? But lookye here, my lad; I arn't a sir-on'y a marrineer." "A what, sir?" said the boy, staring. "Marrineer-seaman. Fore the mast man, ship now lying off the port o' Torquay. Whatcher doing there?" "Cry-ying, sir," came for answer, with a piteous sob.
