Excerpt from The Life of a Sailor, Vol. 2 of 2 Says he - "There is a weighty reason For secrecy in love - as treason; Love is a burglarer, a felon, That at the windore eye does steal in, To rob the heart - and with his prey Steals out again a closer way." Hudibras. I was not very long permitted to enjoy the repose of a half-pay lieutenant; for, scarcely had I succeeded in getting as far as Torquay, when I received a long letter from the Admiralty, appointing me to the Euphrates, then fitting at Sheerness for the Mediterranean station. She was commanded by Captain P, was one of the fir frigates, and sailed at the expiration of four months after I joined her. As I consider we have had quite enough of Gibraltar, Malta, &c., I shall at once proceed to Corfu, (touching at Algiers, ) where the Euphrates remained for six months, being in attendance on that most singular of all men, Sir Thomas Maitland. Sir Thomas was then lord-high-commissioner of the Ionian Islands, governor of Malta, &c. &c. On leaving Gibraltar we touched at Algiers; and here, as we were ordered to await the arrival of Lord Exmouth and his fleet, we came to an anchor in the bay, seizing the idle moment to make the ship appear in proper order, as Captain P. was anxious to keep the Euphrates prepared for any trip. We had constantly a watering party on shore, and thus had numerous opportunities of seeing the town, and cultivating a proper understanding with the turbaned Turk.

Excerpt from The Life of a Sailor, Vol. 2 of 3 And oh! the little warlike world within! The well-reeved guns - the netted canopy - The hoarse command - the busy humming din! When at a word the tops are mann'd on high, Hark to the boatswain's call - the cheering cry! Childe Harold. Lord Byron somewhere says, for I cannot find it just now, that we feel a remorse at leaving even the most unpleasant people, after having been habituated to their society.

Excerpt from A Sailor S Life, Vol. 1: Under Four Sovereigns That mattered little, as before the final screwing down the old nurse discovered there was life in the small thing. I was christened at Kensington. Henry, Lord Holland, became responsible for my sins, a similar kind act having been conferred by Charles James Fox upon my elder brother; after which I was removed to join the others at Quidenham.

Excerpt from Thirty Years at Sea: The Story of a Sailor's Life Nearly all the incidents and scenes depicted in this book have been derived from the-writer's own experience or from the relations of actors and eye witnesses. Nothing in it is matter of pure invention except as to arrangement and the connecting links necessary to preserve the continuity of the narrative, fragments of which have given entertainment to so many listeners, old and young, as to encourage the hope that in a connected form it might interest a wider circle. The chapters describing the fight be tween the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the capture of Fort Fisher, have, in a slightly altered form, already appeared in Lippincott's Magazine, where they were divested of their connection with the hero of the narrative, and became a strictly accurate account of facts which came under the writer's observation.
