Book Overview

""Stories By English Authors: The Sea"" is a collection of short stories written by various English authors, all of which are centered around the theme of the sea. The book includes stories from well-known authors such as Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lesser-known writers. Each story explores different aspects of the sea, from the dangers and mysteries of the deep to the beauty and tranquility of the ocean. The stories are set in various locations around the world, including England, Africa, and the South Pacific. Some of the stories are adventure tales, while others are more introspective, exploring the human psyche in the context of the sea. The book is a fascinating and diverse collection of stories that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the sea, literature, or English culture.""Not now, sir; not with six men while I have fifteen. You have no right to search the hold of a respectable merchantman and disturb her cargo. Do you take me for a slaver, or what? Ef you must have the hatches up, send back to your man-of-war for a larger crew, so as to overpower me, you understand, and you may do it with pleasure. Bet I guess there'll be a complaint lodged at Washington, and you folks in London will have to pay for it. That's all, mister. I only want things fair and square, within my treaty rights.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
