Excerpt from The King's Own; The Pirate; The Three Cutters Dundonald. Marryat had run away three times from school before he attained his ambition, and was allowed to go to sea. His father, Joseph Marryat, a prosperous man, who was m.e. For Sandwich and chairman of the committee of Lloyds, does not seem to have been a very sympathetic parent, and the youth's schooldays, so far as we can judge from the allusions to school life in the novels, were anything but happy. It was in September 1806 that he gained his proud position on the quarter-deck of the frigate Imperz'euse, and he was then fourteen years old.

Excerpt from The King's Own and the Pirate, Vol. 1 And I also beat a retreat to my sofa and as I threw myself upon it, mentally vowed that, for a month at least, I never would take up my pen. The book is full of digressions; on the profession of authorship and the conduct of reviews - chap. Xxviii., on courage, on Sunday at sea, on smuggling, on theology and natural history. There is also an interesting auto biographical note, which may perhaps be partially credited, concerning Marryat's reasons for going to sea. It was not, he declares, to escape the drudgery and confine ment of a school, or the admonitions received at home. But, after the battle of Trafalgar, when I returned home, I witnessed the funeral profession of Lord Nelson; and, as the triumphal car, upon which his earthly remains were borne, disappeared from my aching eye, I felt that death could have no terrors if followed by such a funeral; and I determined that I would be buried in the same manner.

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.

There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I've gotten what I came for. Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship. More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King. In Daughter of the Pirate King, debut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a thrilling pirate tale.

To write about the sea in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was to do so against a vast accretion of past deeds, patterns of thought, and particularly patterns of expression, many of which had begun to feel not just settled but exhausted. The Victorian Novel and the Problems of Marine Language takes up this circumstance, showing how prose writers in this period grappled with the super-conventionalized nature of the sea as a setting, as a shaper of plot and character, as a structuring motif, and as a source of metaphor. But while writing about the sea required careful negotiation of multiple andsometimes conflicting associations, the sea's multiplicity and freight function not just as impediments to thought or expression but as sources of intellectual and expressive possibilities. The Victorian Novel and the Problems of Marine Language treats a provocatively diverse group of key authors spanning from the 1830s to the 1930s and including both those inextricably associated with the sea (Frederick Marryat, Joseph Conrad) and those whose writings are less obviously marine, such as Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Virginia Woolf. What these writers share, among other things, is that they simultaneously register and turn to account the difficulties that attend writing about, and writing with, the sea. In the process, their sea-writing sheds new light on the value of marginalized representational techniques including repetition, cliché, and imprecision.
