The Sea-Hawk (Esprios Classics) by Rafael Sabatini Pdf
Sir Oliver Tressilian, Cornish gentleman and sometime naval commander against the Spanish Armada, turns Barbary pirate and wins for himself the title of Sakr-el-Bahr, "Hawk of the Sea."
1923. After a brief stint in the business world, Sabatini went to work as a writer. He wrote short stories in the 1890s, and his first novel came out in 1902. It took Sabatini roughly a quarter of century of hard work before he attained success with Scaramouche in 1921. This brilliant novel of the French Revolution became an international bestseller. It was followed by the equally successful Captain Blood in 1922. A prolific writer, he produced about a book a year. The Sea-Hawk begins: Sir Oliver Tressilian sat at his ease in the lofty dining room of the handsome house of Penarrow, which he owed to the enterprise of his father of lamented and lamentable memory and to the skill and invention of an Italian engineer named Bagnolo who had come to England half a century ago as one of the assistants of the famous Torrigiani. This house of such a startlingly singular and Italiante grace for so remote a corner of Cornwall deserves, together with the story of its construction, a word in passing.

The Sea Hawk (Classic Reprint) by Bailey Millard Pdf
Excerpt from The Sea Hawk Buoys were bobbing gently in the outrunning tide; the endless straggle of shoredrift was lazing down the creek; round, water-washed cocoa husks twinkled and darkled in the stream, like the heads of so many swimmers; here was a sea-worn piece of planking, there a splintered spar, and, floating amid it all, was a cedar canoe in which a bareheaded young man, with an easy, self-confident look in his frank, likeable face, steadily and neatly plied the paddle, his glinting blue-gray eyes glancing sharply from right to left to mark what heartless tug captain might be aiming to run him down. For at times there were many towing masters speeding their stout boats about in Oakland Creek and the blue San Francisco bay beyond, and from the viewpoint of a man in a fourteen-foot canoe they were all desperate murderers.
