with it? THE END THE WALTER SCOTT PUBLISHING CO., LTD., NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. "WINDJAMMERS AND SEA-TRAMPS." _With Six Full-page Illustrations by Thomas Runciman._ "The special attractiveness of the volume arises from the fact that the author began as a cabin-boy, worked his way up to master, and is now a leading steamship manager, and that he has been at the pains to epitomise his experiences and state his views."--_Fairplay._ "In _Windjammers and Sea Tramps_, Mr. Walter Runciman, sen., has put together memories and information drawn from many years' experience of the British mercantile marine, mostly in sailing vessels."--_St. James' Gazette._ "His yarns are chiefly of the things that took place a generation ago, when there was far more brutality on ocean-going ships than there is in these more enlightened days."--_Daily News._ "Mr. Walter Runciman, sen., has given the characteristic title, _Windjammers and Sea Tramps_, to a little book of recollections and opinions on the merchant service. His pages are full of experience and rich anecdotage, and smack refreshingly of the sea."--_Manchester Guardian._ "Mr. Runciman packs together a surprising amount of information on our merchant service, and his modest hope that 'he has succeeded in making the book interesting' is very fully justified."--_Saturday Review._ "To all lovers of the sea, to all those whose hearts go the merrier for the sight of a ship or a yarn with an old salt, this book will come a little sadly, and bring regrets for the old days and the dead traditions. Not many men now living can remember the old sea order."--_The Speaker._ "Mr. Walter Runciman is a practical sailor. He has had experience of the sea in many capacities, and this lends weight to his opinions on matters connected with the mercantile marine and interest to the various yarns which he has to spin."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "Every self-respecting Briton knows that a windjammer is a sailing vessel, and the book before us, written by a man who 'went in at the hawse-hole and came out of the cabin-window,' should commend itself to a maritime nation."--_Birmingham Gazette._ End of Project Gutenberg's The Shellback's Progress, by Walter Runciman *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE SHELLBACK'S PROGRESS *** ***** This file should be named 22794.txt or 22794.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will b
