Description

William Clark Russell (1844-1911) was an English writer best known for his nautical novels. At the age of 13 he joined the Merchant Navy, serving for eight years. The hardships of life at sea damaged his health permanently but provided him with ample material for a career as a writer. He wrote short stories, press articles, historical essays, biographies, and a book of verse, but, above all, gained popularity for his novels, most of which were about life at sea. Despite his success as a novelist he did, however, maintain a simultaneous career as a journalist, principally as a columnist on nautical subjects for The Daily Telegraph written under the pseudonym 'Seafarer'. Russell also campaigned for better conditions for merchant seamen and his work influenced reforms approved by Parliament to prevent unscrupulous shipowners from exploiting their crews. This collection of stories and sketches originally appeared in The Daily Telegraph and it was the author's hope that the title under which they appeared in book form would express their character, if the reader imagined himself one of an audience, in a cold Dog Watch, listening to the yarns of a man who has planted himself in the galley, where he delivers his memories and notions to the little company who have gathered round to listen. The collection was first published in 1883 and is reprinted from the new edition of 1893.
