"In June 1824 still on HMS Larne he took part in a skirmish en route from Rangoon to Kemmendine and showed great gallantry and on 10th commanded a small fleet against native attacks. On 8 July he commanded HMS Satellite accompanied by a body of troops under Sir Archibald Campbell on a trip inland on the Yangon River. Three other armed vessels, HMS Teignmouth, HMS Thetis and HMS Jessey were also under Fraser's overall command on this journey. And attacked inland stockades acting on behalf of the East India Company. On 8 August a parallel attack was made on stockades on the Dalla River. He made a second attack on the Dalla River on 2 September accompanied by Captain Marryat. The 400 troops taken on this mission were under command of Major R L Evans. By mid September the crew of the Larne were heavily affected by scurvy and Marryat ordered the ship to Penang for recovery. The ship and crew ultimately went to Calcutta to recover, returning to the conflict area on 24 December." (from Wikipedia).

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Thomas Fraser (1850-1934) was an English seaman who began as a 15 year-old apprentice and retired as a captain. Along the way, he worked on 25 voyages in fast clippers, delivering a wide variety of cargo around the globe. When he retired, he wrote everything down, and proved to be talented at narration and description. His tales of far-off places, mixed with his Victorian outlook, are humorous, charming and very interesting. The English writer Marjory Gee pulled his writings together and the collection was published by Stanford Maritime in 1979. For the US market, Stanford Maritime printed additional copies and they were marketed by Norton, as a US edition, although it's the same book. This is a first printing of the stated First American edition. It is plain burgundy boards with silver lettering on the spine. There is no other adornment. The dust jacket is unclipped and has no shelf-wear. There is one dog-ear, on page 39. Other than that, it is absolutely pristine, with no marks in it or on it.

Stanford Maritime, London 1979 First edition ISBN 0540071803 220pp Illustrated hardback. This copy is in FINE, bright and tight condition in an unclipped dustwrapper that has some mild sunning but is still NEAR FINE.Two voyages in the Corea are described in the autobiography of Capt.Thomas Garry Fraser, a Harrington-born seaman who started his career in her as an apprentice, eventually rising to command a variety of Liverpool ships. He joined the Corea on the 19th May 1865, as an apprentice to the Liverpool shipping firm of Bushby & Edwards, who owned her and other Workington-built vessels such as Belted Will, Dunmail, Banian and Carricks. Fraser describes her as a 581 ton clipper, and his first voyage was from Liverpool to Hong Kong and Whampoa. They left Liverpool Prince's Dock on the 22nd May, and the crew comprised master, three mates, bosun, carpenter, sailmaker, cook, steward, twelve AB's, two OS's and six apprentices. One of the AB's was lost during the voyage, after falling from the rigging. The outward voyage took the Corea past Madeira, Tenerife, Tristan da Cunha, Christmas Island, Java, Sumatra and Borneo before the ship reached Pedders Wharf, Hong Kong on the 7th September, a passage of 107 days. After discharging the ship sailed for Foochow to load a cargo of tea for London, and at that port anchored amongst such famous tea clippers as Taeping, Fiery Cross, and Belted Will. The voyage to London passed through the Sunda Straights, then Madagascar, around the Cape of Good Hope to a stop at St.Helena for replenishing food and water. Fraser's second voyage in the Corea started on the 16th May 1866, when the ship left London's South Dock bound for Kanagawa and Yokohama, Japan. The route this time took the ship inside the Cape Verdes, before rounding the Cape and then proceeding on her previous route, then passing to the east of Formosa (Taiwan), arriving at Yokohama after a 120 day passage on the 18th September. The ship stayed in Japan for four months, and the return voyage to London was uneventful. The master of the Corea on both these voyages was Capt.J.Garry, a relative of Fraser's, and both men were transferred to the newly-built Carricks for their next voyage. Fraser returned to the Corea, as second mate, in 1870. They sailed from London to Whampoa, under the command of Capt.Can, then returned from Macao to London with tea, the round voyage lasting eight months and ten days. The next passage was from London to Hong Kong (101 days), picking up a part cargo of tea and silk from Whampoa, then returning from Macao to London. In 1872 the Corea sailed to Australia, because she was not available early enough in the season to re-enter the tea trade. She sailed under Capt.Can and with Fraser as first mate to Adelaide, and made the passage in 71 days. The return cargo was coal loaded at Newcastle NSW, for Nagasaki, Japan. The Corea then sailed for New York with tea and silk, and returned to London with a crew of West Indians. In 1873 Fraser left the Corea to take command of the Doriga. Thes and other voyages are described in this book compiled from the log books of Captain Thomas Garry Fraser. Ref W3.
