Here is practical professional advice on problems of characterization, style, conflict, and plot for everyone who wants to write.

OCLC 464564922 OCLC 17084329 This journal was kept on board the schooner L'Espiegle on a cruise amongst the Nicobar Islands under the command of Captain H. Lewis. The Danish Government made their last attempt to colonise the Nicobar islands in 1845. They sent their representative H. Busch with Captain H. Lewis commanding the schooner L'Espiegle out of Calcutta to do reconnaisance and assert Danish possession of the islands. This journal makes for fascinating reading regarding the customs, housing and trades of the indigenous people, as well as providing interesting information on the flora, fauna, terrain, minerals and other resources. There is also a recounting of at least four incidents in which the indigenous population savagely murdered the foreign crew and plundered their ships in the harbours. With the information provided by this expedition, and a follow up voyage in early 1846, the Danish Government decided the enormous cost of colonising these islands and the failure of several previous attempts at settlement outweighed the potential economic benefits. They renounced their claims of sovereignty over these islands in 1848. Some excerpts from the journal: "The construction of their huts and boats displays great ingenuity. Their houses are circular, erected on the beach, surrounded with cocoanut trees and dense jungle, being substantially built on solid posts driven into the ground, and elevated 8 feet: the floor is a strong frame-work of timber and rafters (the common poon of Malacca); and the roof is formed exactly like a bee-hive, of fine bamboos and strong rattans, being from 30 to 50 feet diameter, and of very considerable height; the entrance is from below, through a trap-door by a ladder. These habitations are cool, dark, and smoky, and not ill-adapted for the climate." "They are fond of drinking and feasting. Cocoanuts, betel-nuts, pigs, poultry, and yams are the staples of the island. Numerous vessels, English, Burmese, and native craft from Coromandel, visit them; and it is calculated that more than 25 cargoes, of not less than 100,000 nuts each, leave the island every year. The barter is-1, various kinds of cloth ; 2, straight cutlasses (which the natives use most dexterously for the purpose of ascending the cocoanut trees, and opening the fruit) ; 3, hatchets ; 4, silver spoons ; 5, Spanish Dollars and Rupees ; 6, ardent spirits ; 7, common fowling-pieces ; 8, sundry articles of Burmese manufacture, as long knives and colored cloth ; 9, Chinese tobacco, and American Negro-head [tobacco], the strongest being most approved of." "A snake had been killed during the night, but it was so mutilated and putrid that there was no possibility of preserving it; it measured 13+ feet in length, and appeared to be a boa constrictor. We learnt that they were numerous; and likewise obtained a smaller snake, said to be poisonous, which we preserved in spirits." "Friday, 11th April. Went on shore at daylight, and roamed through the forest and high-land. A heavy dew had fallen during the night, the effects of which we felt severely. To colonize the island, an importation of Chinese laborers would be requisite, and also people from the Coromandel Coast. The facilities for cultivation would be little inferior to those at Penang, and with a sufficiency of labor they would ultimately prove greater. The natives would no doubt dislike a settlement of Europeans; but they are too few, too timid, and not united enough, to attempt anything against a tolerably well regulated settlement. It is to be regretted that we did not visit the Islan.
