Poor Jack the Settlers in Canada

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Jan. 22, 2018)
Excerpt from Poor Jack the Settlers in CanadaAdmirable, however, as are all these descriptions of old Greenwich, Captain Marryat is evidently not quite at his case between the river banks, and accordingly he avails him self of every possible opportunity'of return to the fresher atmosphere of the high seas. The yarns of the pensioners prove very useful for this purpose, and whenever the story flags a little, one of the old men is sure to embark upon some lengthy description of battle or shipwreck. One of the most graphic and circumstantial narratives in the book is the loss of the Royal told by Anderson over the ward fire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
