Excerpt from Eighteen Months on a Greenland Whaler I am well aware of the fact that the public has for a long time back been solicited in behalf of new publications in a well-nigh distracting degree. Modern facilities for book-making have ushered upon the world a new breed of the gems homo, known as the book-agent, making a fourth to be added to the list of Solomon's insatiables. And with an eye like the ancient mariner' s and a pow er like that of Scheherazade for spinning a yarn, this nondescript is as far-reaching as civilization, ubiquitous as advertisements of quack medicine and persistently penetrative as the North wind, and generally about as unwelcome.

Excerpt from Old Whaling Days For the complete equipment of an Arctic whaler. There are words, too, used in the times dealt with, which do not find a place in the English dictionary of to-day, and it is hoped, therefore, that the information which is given in these pages, will be found full of interest, not only to the uninitiated, but to those who may remember their own experiences in whaling. Thankful for my own escapes in early life, I would beg to lay this narrative before the general public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Old Jack: A Man-of-War's South-Sea Whaler There is a time of life when a person feels that he has left for ever his boyish days and stepped into manhood. I felt that I had passed that boundary when I found myself rated as an able seaman on board the Syren sloop of war. I was now under a far stricter system of discipline than I had been accustomed to. At first I felt it somewhat galling; but I soon saw that without the greatest regularity it would be impossible to keep order among the crew of a ship even of the size of the Syren. My early days I had spent on board a merchantman, and had met with many adventures somewhat strange and exciting. I did not expect to meet with fewer in my new career, though they would probably be of a different character. The result of my last, in which I had aided in rescuing two of my countrymen from captivity, had proved most satisfactory.

Excerpt from Peter Trawl: Or the Adventures of a Whaler Rother jack, a seaman's bag over his shoulders, B trudged sturdily ahead; father followed, carrying the oars, spars, sails, and other gear of the Wherry, While as I toddled alongside him I held on with one hand to the skirt of his pea-jacket, and griped the boat-hook which had been given to my charge with the other. From the front of the well-known inn, the Keppel's Head the portrait of the brave old admiral, which I always looked at with awe and admiration, thinking What a great man he must have been, gazed sternly down on us as we made our way along the Common Hard of Portsea towards the water's edge. Father and Jack hauled in the Wherry, and having deposited their burdens in her, set to work to mop her out and to put her to rights, while I stood, still grasping the boat-hook, which I held upright with the point in the ground, watching their proceedings, till father, lifting me Up in his arms, placed me in the sternsheets.

Excerpt from The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories I have for many years wondered that the romantic and exciting experiences of the whale fishery have not been preserved more often in records in our literature. Occa sionally we have had sketches of one or another detail in this marvellous adventure. But it would seem as if the brave men who engage in such adventure handle harpoons more willingly than they handle pens. And so you shall hear many a story of such adventure told by men who Speak of what they have seen, while you do not read one such story. I was very glad, therefore, to hear that Capt. Charles H. Robbins had put to paper some accounts of his own earlier experiences, and that he has been persuaded to publish them; and to say to any friend of mine' that he may place confident reliance on the narrative of Capt. Robbins, as being that of one who tells of what he saw, of which indeed he was much himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
