| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Tough yarns, vol. 2 (of 2) : A series of naval tales and sketches to please…" by The Old Sailor is a collection of maritime short stories written in the early 19th century. The volume spins lively, often moralized yarns of seafaring life—mixing humor, horror, sentiment, and action—drawn from Royal Navy service and coastal communities. Expect storms, battles, shipwrecks, and brushes with superstition, told in vigorous first-person voices. It will appeal to readers who enjoy nautical adventure and period storytelling. The opening of the volume presents several distinct tales. In Ghost Stories, a young seaman admits a childhood terror of apparitions, only to have it cured by hard experience—sleeping unknowingly beside a corpse, mistaking a giant goat and a moving crate for spectres, and discovering a “coffin” on a Sierra Leone road is merely an arm-chest with a drowsy volunteer inside. Frere du Diable shifts to Italy, where Galeazzo and his fierce wife Camilla, brutalized by war, lead guerillas against the French and briefly ally with Sir Sidney Smith, ending in grim, vengeful justice on a would‑be assassin. The Fisherman’s Family returns to Cornwall for a storm‑tossed rescue saga: a fishing smack aids a wreck in a hurricane, survives a hair‑breadth surf landing, and the family’s joy is crowned by the reappearance of a long‑lost, wealthy brother who becomes their benefactor. The Red Flag at the Fore begins a sailor’s memoir of ambition and hard knocks—from chaotic midshipmen’s life and a deadly gale that sweeps men from the foremast, to failed rescues, Indian Ocean cruising, and the long, grinding path to promotion—setting the tone for further adventures.
