Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Years on the Blockade: A Naval Experience
While I felt awed in the presence of whaling cap tains, and was thrilled with excitement at the narra tion of their perilous adventures in many oceans, I had never yet seen a naval officer, and my only knowl edge of their daring deeds, was such as I had gained in the perusal of the early history of my country.
