| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "A sailor''s life under four sovereigns, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Sir Henry Keppel is a naval memoir written in the late 19th century. This concluding volume follows Keppel’s later career across Asia and Africa—combat on China’s rivers, visits to Sarawak, anti-slavery patrols off East Africa, big-game interludes, and service at Court—told in brisk, anecdotal entries that blend operations, travel, and high society. The opening of the volume plunges into Keppel’s firsthand account of the Fatshan Creek action, where his boat is sunk under heavy fire before a renewed assault scatters and captures most of a Chinese junk fleet; he includes a captured proclamation from Admiral Yeh and memorializes fallen and wounded comrades. The narrative then shifts into journal-like notes: a court-martial after the loss of Raleigh, reassignment and movements on the Canton River, a detour to Sarawak with Brooke’s circle and jungle excursions, and onward travel through Singapore and India amid news of honors. Returning to England, Keppel records a whirl of hunting and society, a deft recovery of a stolen officer’s watch, and his first turns as Groom-in-Waiting at Osborne and Windsor with lively court vignettes. He next takes the Cape command in HMS Forte, carries Sir George Grey via Madeira and Rio, shifts to HMS Brisk for an East African cruise that includes edging into Delagoa Bay, a moonlit turtle foray at Europa Island, the seizure of the slaver Manuela, hippopotamus shooting near Zanzibar, and a return to Mauritius to rehoist his flag and stage a mock landing operation.
