Excerpt from Jack in the Forecastle: Or Incidents in the Early Life of Hawser Martingale This book contains a plain and faithful account of the cruises, rambles, and adventures of the writer during eight years of his early life - between the years 1809 and 1817. It may not contain much which is extraordinary or exciting; but the pictures it furnishes of life at sea, the illustrations it gives of the character of the sailor, the temptations by which he is surrounded, and the moral as well as physical dangers which beset him on every side.
