The Kings Own And The Pirate Vol 1 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The King's Own; The Pirate; The Three Cutters Dundonald. Marryat had run away three times from school before he attained his ambition, and was allowed to go to sea. His father, Joseph Marryat, a prosperous man, who was m.e. For Sandwich and chairman of the committee of Lloyds, does not seem to have been a very sympathetic parent, and the youth's schooldays, so far as we can judge from the allusions to school life in the novels, were anything but happy. It was in September 1806 that he gained his proud position on the quarter-deck of the frigate Imperz'euse, and he was then fourteen years old.
