Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sailor's Garland The sailor has been expressed for us with perfect art and perfect truth, though he himself may complain of the treatment he has received. The poets have not loved him. They have not been attracted by him. They have dismissed him, not with a shudder, but with a volley of his own oaths or with a scrap of his own song, as a sort of monster, a sort of sea-bear, a sort of a bawling rough Commodore Trunnion. So far as I know there are not half a dozen attractive naval characters, created and celebrated in poetry or in prose fiction, prior to the early nineteenth century. If a poet or a novelist desired a common seaman or a sea captain in his art, he followed the type of Chaucer's shipman or of Shakespeare's boat swain for the one, and that of Congreve's young Ben or Smollett's Commodore, or Edmund Thompson's Captain Mizen for the other. Heywood's sea captains, at the inn, are perhaps the best we have prior to Miss Austen and Captain Marryat, though our fiction makers have always done well with pirates, as with Captain Ward and Captain Roberts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower of England's Garland The other essays in this volume deal with the provision of medical treatment for our sick and wounded seamen the clothing of the sailor, and the origin of a naval uniform for officers. Finally, there is a biographical study of Woodes Rogers, whose privateering voyage round the world ranks almost with that of Anson; and one on the fight for the liberty of the press during the period when Milton was writing his famous Areopagitica.' The first two of these studies originally appeared in the United Service Magazine (now the Army Quarterly Journalism in the Days of the Common wealth in the Edinburgh Review and the other three in the Mariner's Mirror.' They have been revised and added to where necessary. For permission to republish them I am indebted to the various editors. I also beg to acknowledge the courtesy of Messrs. Cassell and Company in allowing me to publish the study of Woodes Rogers, originally prefixed to their edition of A Cruising Voyage Round the World.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of the Sea: A Prose Anthology The Call of the Sea has a more than abstract meaning for one in whose ears it sings all through the year, and the garnering of these extracts within a hundred yards of its surf has lent enjoy ment to the task, which has been indeed no task, but a recreation. In its original form, the collection was to have included poetry, but this was antici pated by the admirable Sailor's Garland of Mr. Masefield, who has for the time being most generously dropped anchor in a large prose sister ship that my little craft may have the fair-way to herself.
