Excerpt from The Young Man-of-War's Man: A Boy's Voyage Round the World

But sitting at home, by the fireside, among his friends, there is nothing to remind him of his past life the incitement is wanting - the yarn can't be spun.

Not being able, in any other way, to gratify the wishes of certain of my young friends, I have endeavored here to jot down such reminiscences as will not, it is trusted, prove entirely uninteresting. To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life, nothing extenuating, nor aught setting down in malice, has been the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships - they do not need it - nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose in View.
