Excerpt ...among the Christians, and thrice as fast. But shortly they drew near, so that the English bowmen fell to shooting so terribly among their galleys that there 169 were twice as many of the Turks slain as the whole number of the Christians. But the Turks discharged twice as fast against the Christians, and so long that the ship was very sorely battered and bruised, which the foe perceiving, made the more haste to come aboard. For this coming aboard many a Turk paid dearly with his life, but it was all in vain, and board they did, where they found a hot skirmish. For the Englishmen showed themselves men indeed, and the boatswain was valiant above the rest, for he fought among the Turks like a mad lion, and there was none of them that could stand in his face; till at last there came a shot that struck him in the breast, so that he fell down, bidding them farewell, and to be of good comfort, and exhorting them rather to win praise by death than to live in captivity and shame. This, they hearing, indeed intended to have done, but the number and press of the Turks was so great that they could not wield their weapons, and so were taken, when they intended rather to have died, except only the master's mate, who shrank from the fight like a notable coward. But so it was, and the Turks were victors, though they had little cause of triumph.

I will make no mention of their miseries, being now under their enemies' raging stripes, their bodies distressed with too much heat, and also with too much cold; but I will rather show the deliverance of those who, being in great misery, continually trust in God, with a steadfast hope that He will deliver them.

I'm a college grad and did well in English and Literature. I haven't finished this book or the other books of similar titles but different colors but i am still working on them. I found the stories to be offbeat, interesting for the most part, seemingly unfinished in some cases, sometimes unable to determine themes and antagonists, etc, but they are quirky enough to keep me plodding through. These books are out of copyright and free. I find reading them to be worth the time and effort from time to time.Product details

THERE TOO LONG AND ONCE IT COST I NO LONGER NEED TO READ THEM IT NOT THE KIND OF STORIES I INTERESTING
This book is boring. After a couple of chapters I simply walked away from it. Total waste of time and money.
I don't normally give a review of my orders as it takes some time to read/use the product; that is the reason for the 4 stars.
ok.
