Description
Snarleyyow is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat, first published in 1837. The story is set in the 17th century and follows the adventures of a mischievous and ill-tempered dog named Snarleyyow, who is owned by a group of sailors on a British warship. The sailors, led by the cruel and tyrannical Captain John Crow, use Snarleyyow to terrorize and intimidate the crew.As the story progresses, Snarleyyow becomes increasingly violent and unpredictable, causing chaos and mayhem on the ship. However, when the ship is attacked by a French vessel, Snarleyyow proves his loyalty and bravery by saving the lives of the crew.Throughout the novel, Marryat uses Snarleyyow as a metaphor for the corrupt and oppressive nature of the British navy during this time period. The book is also a commentary on the dangers of unchecked power and the need for justice and fairness in leadership.Overall, Snarleyyow is a thrilling and thought-provoking novel that explores complex themes of loyalty, power, and morality.Vanslyperken fell with great force, was stunned, and lay without motion at the foot of the ladder, while the corporal, whose wrath was always excessive when his blood was up, but whose phlegmatic blood could not be raised without some such decided stimulus as a handspike, now turned round and round the forecastle, like a bull looking for his assailants; but the corporal had the forecastle all to himself, and, as he gradually cooled down, he saw lying close to him the speaking-trumpet of his senior officer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
