Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Excerpt from There She Blows! Or the Log of the Arethusa

The story embodied in these pages is not to be regarded as a mere yarn. It is rather a series of illustrated sketches of actual life on the ocean, made up of real incidents and introducing for the most part real characters, many of which will be recognized. Indeed the author may truly say that in writing these Leaves, he felt himself simply telling a story - not making one.

Excerpt from There She Blows! Or the Log of the Arethusa

The story embodied in these pages is not to be regarded as a mere "yarn." It is rather a series of illustrated sketches of actual life on the ocean, made up of real incidents and introducing for the most part real characters, many of which will be recognized. Indeed the author may truly say that in writing these "Leaves," he felt himself simply telling a story - not making one.

Since its first publication in serial form, nine years ago, he has been stricken with one of the heaviest of physical infirmities. Doomed to life-long blindness, the recollection of years spent at sea in the prime of manhood, come crowding upon him more thickly than ever, and he finds his chief solace in having still retained the ability to write them down for the benefit and amusement of others. His sea-faring friends, as they overhaul the log of their own experience, will at once recognize the truthfulness of the pictures he has drawn here.
