Excerpt from A Mainsail Haul
Now this Don Alfonso he was a terror, he was; for they've got a licker in those parts. If you put some of it on a piece Of paint-work - and this is gospel that I'm giving you - that paint it comes Off like you was using turps. Now Don Alfonso he was a terror at that licker - and that 's the sort Of Dago-boy Alfonso was.
Now Alfonso's mother was a widow, and he was her only child, like in the play.

Excerpt from A Mainsail Haul
I yarned with ancient shipmen beside the galley range
And some were fond of women, but all were fond of change;
They sang their quavering chanties, all in a fo'c's'le drone,
And I was finely suited, if I had only known.
I rested in an ale-house that had a sanded floor,
Where seamen sat a-drinking and chalking up the score;
They yarned of ships and mermaids, of topsail sheets and slings,
But I was discontented; I looked for better things.
I heard a drunken fiddler, in Billy Lee's Saloon,
I brooked an empty belly with thinking of the tune:
I swung the doors disgusted as drunkards rose to dance,
And now I know the music was life and life's romance.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. A collection of nautical tales with each story drawing on some element of seafaring folklore, superstition, and legend. This book takes the reader on a journey through the oceans of the world and back through time to the days of old-time sailors, immersing them in tales of adventure, romance, and maritime peril. The stories delve into the human experience at sea, exploring the thrill of exploration and the terror of the unknown, the bonds of camaraderie, and the crushing force of isolation. With themes of superstition, faith, love, and courage, each tale speaks to the power of the sea to shape our lives and the vastness of the unknown that lies beneath its waves.
