  • Roger Willoughby, a Story of the Times of Benbow

    de Kingston, W.H.G. ...
    Sadly, this was the last book Kingston wrote. He was diagnosed with a rapid fatal illness while he was writing it, and he used the opportunity of bidding his young readers farewell in the Preface. There is a lot of action in the book, from encounters with the Barbary Pirates in what is now called Morocco, to military goings-on in Somerset and Dorset, to trials by Jeffreys, the Chief Justice (or ...

The Woodcutter with his son and his donkey are working in the forest, one evening, when a man asks them for directions to get out of the ... Leer más

    de Kingston, W.H.G. ...

The two young men sail as supercargoes, a post which at that time existed, but which later was to be known a ship's clerk. The job of a supercargo was to be in charge of where in the vessel each item of cargo was stored, so ... Leer más
