Frank Brown, Sea Apprentice
In order to make it plain to my readers that the following pages may be read without danger of acquiring false information about the sea, or the ways of its servants, I beg to say that every incident recorded is fact, either well authenticated by others, or personal experience of my own. About the merits of the story I can, of course, say nothing, but I assure my readers of the accuracy of the details and information herein contained. I have naturally used the incidents to make a story, and given fictitious names of ships, places, and people. And I am not without hope that the reading of this book may be quite profitable to parents of boys wishing to go to sea, as well as pleasurable to the boys themselves. FRANK T. BULLEN. R.M.S.

Of course you cant see one inch beyond your nose, thats not to be expected, any more than that you should consider my feelings in the matter. You want to go to sea and thats enoughfor you; but, Frank, arent your mother and father to be thought of at all? I know of course that sailors are necessary and all that, but what little I know of a sailors life and prospects makes me feel that it is the last profession on earth that I should choose for my son, especially after I have impoverished myself to fit you to take your place in the great firm with which I have been honourably connected for the last thirty years. There will always be plenty of youngsters with unhappy homes and neglected education to take up the business of seafaring, boys who have[2] got nothing else to look forward to ashore. But youre not one of those, are you? ......Buy Now (To Read More)
