她的白色棉帆布轻轻地向外膨胀，然后在绳索上平缓下垂，新贝德福德 的肖妮 精子捕鲸者，在东南贸易的垂死气息中，懒洋洋地航行在海水平静的海面上一个高山湖泊。在萨摩亚群岛之一的岛屿 的高耸山峰后二十英里处，在耀眼的阳光中清晰地脱颖而出，几乎在黎明时分，乌波卢（Upolu）的紫色织机变成了乌云密布的圆顶船与陆地关闭时，鲜绿色。肖妮是"五艘船"，从她的甲板看上去很干净来看，这是不幸的。她出去已经一年多了，自从最后一条鱼被杀死以来已经过去了三个月。那是在智利海岸之外，她现在正向西和向北向新几内亚东部海岸巡航，船长哈维-露西船长 是船长，他希望该船能弥补迄今为止一直困扰他的厄运。自然，他是一个最猛烈，脾气暴躁的人，在这次航行中对他的人的举止造成了灾难性的后果，船员们非常钦佩船长，将其视为有史以来踩踏甲板的最熟练的鲸鱼之一。现在变成了叛变的愤怒之地。在看到萨摩亚群岛之前不久，该船的库珀（一个从船长的榜样中汲取线索的人）与一名叫杰拉尔德-罗德曼 的年轻船舵手发生了激烈争吵。激动中，库珀受到了巨大的打击，使该人在生与死之间停留了几个小时。试图将罗德曼放进铁杆的企图遭到了由他的弟弟率领的许多船友的强烈抵制。但是后卫对这些人来说太强大了，在一场野蛮的冲突之后，两个罗德曼一家和另外三个海员被露西船长，他的四个伴侣以及木匠和管家压倒了。就像当年美国捕鲸船上的常见情况一样，几乎所有军官都是亲戚或婚姻亲戚，随时准备站在船长身边。在这种情况下，库珀是第二任伴侣的兄弟。自从这件事发生以来已经过去了六天，当看到乌波卢 时，这五个人仍处于铁锁之中，被困在帆柜的闷热闷热的气氛中，只给了他们足够的食物和水以保持身体和灵魂一起。

I had ridden all day through an endless vista ot ghostly grey gums and ironbarks, when I came in sight of the long wavering line of vivid green foliage which showed me that I had reached my destination-a roughly-built slab hut with a roof of corrugated iron. This place was to be my home for six months, and stood on the bank of Five-Head Creek, twenty-five miles from the rising city of Townsville in North Queensland.

In the sea story of Australia, from the days of Captain Phillip in 1788, to the end of the "fifties" in the present century, American ships and seamen have no little part. First they came into the harbour of Sydney Cove as traders carrying provisions for sale to the half-starved settlers, then as whalers, and before another thirty years had passed, the starry banner might be met with anywhere in the Pacific, from the sterile shores of the Aleutian Islands to the coasts of New Zealand and Tasmania.

Excerpt from Ridan the Devil: And Other Stories Ridan was sick for a long time after this. A heavy flogging always did make him sick, although he was so big and strong. And so, as he could not work in the fields, he was sent to Apia to do light labour in the cotton-mill there. The next morning he was miss ing. He had swum to a brig lying at anchor in the harbour and hidden away in the empty forehold. Then he was discovered and taken ashore to the mill again, where the foreman gave him a dose of Cameroons medicine - that is, twenty-five lashes. Send him back to the plantation, ' said the manager, who was a mere German civilian, and consequently much despised by his foreman, who had served in Africa. I'm afraid to keep him here, and I'm not going to punish him if he tries to get away again, poor devil.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

在澳大利亚的海洋故事中，从1788年的菲利普船长时代到本世纪"五十年代"末期，美国的船只和海员几乎没有参与。首先，他们作为贸易商带着准备出售给半饥饿的定居者的货物来到悉尼湾港口，然后作为捕鲸者，在又过了30年之前，星空的旗帜可能会在太平洋上的任何地方遇到，从无菌的海岸阿留申群岛到新西兰和塔斯马尼亚岛的海岸。 1804年10月一个清晨，美国轮船联盟驶过悉尼海角，将锚抛入海湾。她最后一次来自友好集团的主要岛屿汤加塔布。船长一经她被负责港口的海军军官登上，并检查了文件，便说他与试图切断船只的汤加塔布当地人进行了一次非常激动人心的冒险，在那里然后登上了一个名叫伊丽莎白-莫雷 的年轻女子，他从野蛮人中被俘虏获救。几分钟后，这名年轻女子出现在主舱中，并被介绍给军官。她的年龄大约是六岁到二十岁，举止"极富魅力"。然而，尽管她表示愿意在岛民中讲述自己的冒险经历，但她拒绝透露自己的出生或父母身分，但事实并非她是纽约人，而几年前她已前往开普敦好希望。就联盟的主人而言，她的救助令人担忧，她的非凡叙述在所有细节上都得到了证实。

Crossing from Holyhead to Ireland one night the captain of the steamer and myself, during an hour's talk on the bridge, found that we each had sailed in a certain Australian coasting steamer more than twenty years before-he as chief officer and I as passenger; and her shipwreck one Christmas Eye (long after), which was attended by an appalling loss of life, led us to talk of "pig-headed" skippers generally. His experiences were large, and some of his stories were terrible even to hear, others were grotesquely humorous, and the memory of that particularly pleasant passage across a sea as smooth as a mill pond, has impelled me to retell some of the incidents I related to him of my own adventures with obstinate, self-willed, or incapable captains.
