DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Twenty Years at Sea, or Leaves From My Old Log-Books IN the old days, fifty years ago, when I first went to sea, it was the custom in fine weather, in most ships, after supper had been leisurely discussed and pipes lighted, for both watches to gather on the forecastle deck to listen to the yarns of some old tar, or to join in one of the many ballads with a rattling chorus, in which the exploits of Dick Turpin, Claude Duval, or some other dashing knight of the road were set forth in glowing terms and endless verses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Twenty Years Under the Sea MY father's people came from Scotland and it was here that he was born. John Williamson, his father, was the youngest Of nine brothers, all six-footers and shipbuilders. John married Agnes Bell at Annan, Scotland, and later they moved down to the sea and ships at Liverpool, the saltiest of seaports, bringing with them Charles, their tiniest infant, who was to become my seafaring father. On the day I was born my father was navigating his ship under double reef topsails around the tip Of Cape Horn. Here near the bottom of the world and sur rounded by mountainous seas, he was thousands of miles away from home, yet only on the first leg of a voyage. In those days months, even years, might pass before a sailor could make his home port again. In fact I was nearly three years Old before my father cast his seafaring eye on the trim of my rigging.
