More Cargoes (1898)

More Cargoes is a collection of short stories written by William Wymark Jacobs and originally published in 1898. The book contains a total of 16 stories, each one focusing on the lives and experiences of sailors, traders, and other seafaring individuals. The stories are written in Jacobs' signature style, which is known for its humor, wit, and vivid descriptions of life at sea. Some of the tales are lighthearted and comedic, while others are more serious and explore themes such as greed, betrayal, and the dangers of life on the open water. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section containing stories that were previously published in other magazines and newspapers, and the second section featuring new stories that were written specifically for this collection. Overall, More Cargoes is a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into the world of seafaring life in the late 19th century, and is sure to delight fans of Jacobs' work and anyone with an interest in maritime history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
