520			_a"A sailor''s life under four sovereigns, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Sir Henry Keppel is a naval memoir written in the late 19th century. It presents first-hand campaigning, travel, and diary-like observations from a senior Royal Navy officer, with a strong focus on anti-piracy operations in Borneo and later postings across the globe. Expect riverine warfare, alliances with local leaders such as Rajah Brooke, vivid shipboard life, and social vignettes from ports and drawing rooms alike. The opening of the volume plunges into Keppel’s 1844 Sarawak campaigns with HMS Dido and the steamer Phlegethon: a swift assault on Patusen’s forts, the destruction of pirate strongholds, and a pursuit upriver that topples Seriff Muller’s base. A rash encounter near a Dyak hill-village costs the life of the energetic First Lieutenant Wade, and a brutal mêlée at Karangan brings heavy losses, including the renowned Patingi Ali and Mr. Steward, before the position is carried; throughout, civilians are spared and fugitives aided, while Seriff Sahib is driven into flight. The narrative then shifts to the homeward voyage—storm drama off the Cape, a comic ruse to visit his wife before orders, and paying off the Dido—before settling into dated diary entries of peacetime: publishing the Borneo expedition, levees, hunting and races, studying steam at Woolwich, and lobbying for British footholds such as Labuan.
