I do not know much of him, but I have heard much said in his favour, and it is easy to see by his manners and address that he is a gentleman. Of course, when he stated his intention, I could do nothing but refer him to you, which I did.

Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 - 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836), for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847), and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling, known as Marryat's Code. Early life and naval career: Marryat was born in Great George Street, Westminster, London, the son of Joseph Marryat (1757-1824), a "merchant prince" and member of Parliament, and his American wife Charlotte, née von Geyer. After trying to run away to sea several times, Marryat was permitted to enter the Royal Navy in 1806 as a midshipman on board HMS Imperieuse, a frigate commanded by Lord Cochrane (who later served as inspiration for Marryat as well as other authors). Marryat's time aboard the Imperieuse included action off the Gironde, the rescue of a fellow midshipman who had fallen overboard, captures of many ships off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and the capture of the castle of Montgat. The Imperieuse shifted to operations in the Scheldt in 1809, where Marryat contracted malaria; he returned to England on the 74-gun HMS Victorious. After recuperating, Marryat returned to the Mediterranean in the 74-gun HMS Centaur and again saved a shipmate by leaping into the sea after him. He then sailed as a passenger to Bermuda in the 64-gun HMS Atlas, and from there to Halifax, Nova Scotia on the schooner HMS Chubb, where he joined the 32-gun frigate HMS Aeolus on 27 April 1811. A few months later, Marryat again earned distinction by leading the effort to cut away the Aeolus's mainyard to save the ship during a storm and, continuing a pattern, he also saved one of the men from the sea. Shortly thereafter, he moved to the frigate HMS Spartan, participating in the capture of a number of American ships (the War of 1812 having begun). On 26 December 1812, he was promoted to lieutenant, and as such served in the sloop HMS Espiegle and in HMS Newcastle. Marryat led four barges from the latter ship on a punishing raid to Orleans, Massachusetts on December 19, 1814, the last combat in New England during the war. The affair had mixed results. Initially, Marryat cut out an American schooner and three sloops, but managed to escape with just one sloop. The local militia avoided casualties while killing one Royal marine. He was promoted to commander on 13 June 1815, just as peace broke out.......... From 1832 to 1835, Marryat edited The Metropolitan Magazine.Additionally, he kept producing novels; his biggest success came with Mr Midshipman Easy in 1836. He lived in Brussels for a year, travelled in Canada and the United States, then moved to London in 1839, where he was in the literary circle of Charles Dickens and others. He was in North America in 1837 when the Rebellion of that year broke out in Lower Canada, and served with the British forces in suppressing it. Marryat was named a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his invention and other achievements. In 1843, he moved to a small farm at Manor Cottage in Norfolk, where he died in 1848. His daughter Florence Marryat later became well known as a writer and actress. His son Francis Samuel Marryat completed his late novel The Little Savage...........

Aus dem Buch: "Alles dies war die Vorbereitung zu einem Ereigniß, das für mich von der größten Wichtigkeit war, und vielleicht bis auf diesen Augenblick einen unmerklichen Einfluß auf meinen Geist, wie auch auf meinen Charakter übte. Brandons Berufung erregte in unserem bescheidenen Kreise großes Aufsehen. Er hatte zwar Sorge dafür getragen, daß ich erfahren sollte, was ich unter Trunkenheit verstehe, und so dachte ich, daß er an dem Nachmittage seiner Erwählung betrunken gewesen sein müsse, obschon er seinen Zustand so gut zu verbergen verstand, daß es nicht den Anschein hatte." Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) war ein englischer Marineoffizier und Schriftsteller.

Kapitän Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) war ein englischer Marineoffizier und Schriftsteller. Nach Dienst auf weiteren Schiffen und der Teilnahme am Britisch-Amerikanischen Krieg (1812-1814) wurde er im Oktober 1812 für den Rang eines Leutnants vorgesehen. Mit Ende der Kriege gegen Napoleon wurde Marryat 1815 zum Fregattenkapitän (Commander) befördert. Seinen zahlreichen Seeromanen, die mehrfach ins Deutsche übersetzt wurden, wurde eine "treue Auffassung des Lebens" und eine "gewandte Darstellung" attestiert. Zu Marryats Bewunderern zählen Schriftsteller wie Joseph Conrad und Ernest Hemingway. Auch Cecil Scott Forester und Patrick O''Brian profitierten in ihrer literarischen Produktion von ihm. Aus dem Buch: "Wir steuerten nun mehr nach dem Süden und entdeckten nach drei Tagen eine andere kleine Insel. Sie war augenscheinlich sehr waldig, aber nicht groß. Wir legten windwärts davon bei, und da wir keine Einwohner bemerkten, so ließen wir ein Boot nieder und schickten den ersten Maten zum Recognosciren an''s Ufer. Er kehrte nach einer Stunde zurück und theilte mir mit, die Insel sey mit tragenden Cocosbäumen bedeckt; auch habe er mehrere wilde Schweine, aber keine Spur von Bewohnern bemerkt. Einen Ankerplatz habe er nicht entdecken können, denn das Ufer steige senkrecht, wie eine Mauer aus dem Ocean auf. Wir liefen daher nach dem Lee, und entdeckten nun, daß sich ein Riff von Korallenfelsen fast eine Stunde weit an dieser Seite der Insel hinzog."
