(Excerpt from Sea Scamps: Three Adventurers of the East I...)
Excerpt from Sea Scamps: Three Adventurers of the East I had been a surgeon in the line before the ship was chartered to the Americans, and, in some peculiar way, was transferred to Uncle Sam's army for service on the transport by signing a contract for a month and taking an oath which, as far as I could discover, was for the same length of time as the contract. Thereafter I was directed to buy a uniform in which I was promptly addressed as Lieutenant, which struck me as being rather an Irish promotion, having once previously served as ma J or - but that has nothing to do with this yarn. All things considered, our old floating stockyard and her complement were about as odd a jumble as I was ever shipmates with.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from To Windward: The Story of a Stormy Course With the true anglo-saxon reaction both men made immediate pretext of sudden responsibility. Amos walked to the rear of the dingy shop and ascended a flight of dilapidated stairs that complained bitterly beneath his weight. Arrived in the loft above, which was spacious and fairly well lighted by a row of small windows on either side, he strode rapidly, and with the step of one accustomed to the place, down between the long benches which were fitted with the heavy sewing machines used in the manufacture of sails and covered with odds and ends of material and implements essen tial to the craft: bolts of duck and canvas of varying grades, balls of cotton twine, palms and needles, lumps of wax and marline spikes, pieces of blue chalk, manilla for bolt ropes, and other articles in indescrib able confusion.

Henry Cottrell Rowland was born in New York City, the son of George and Maria Townsend (Durfee) Rowland. He was a descendant of Henry Rowland, who settled in Fairfield, Connecticut, in the seventeenth century, and of Thomas Durfee, who settled in Portsmouth, R. I, about 1660.
After attending private schools in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut, and studying for one year at Williams College, he went to Yale and graduated from the Yale School of Medicine in 1898.
After graduation Rowland enlisted in the navy as an able seaman on the United States auxiliary cruiser, Yankee, and participated in the bombardment of Santiago; the next year he transferred to the army medical service as acting assistant surgeon on a hospital ship, made two voyages to the Philippine Islands, and took part in the insular campaign of 1898-1900.
From 1900 to 1905 he practised surgery in New York City. In 1903 he published his first book, Sea Scamps: Three Adventurers of the East, a collection of eight short stories. These were followed in 1904 by a novel, To Windward, an entertaining, though crudely written story whose action was laid on board ship and in the wards of a city hospital.
When the outbreak of the World War found them living in Vermenton, France, Rowland offered his services to the Allies; for two years he was physician to the war sufferers at Vermenton and Accolay, and during 1916 director of the local military auxiliary hospital at Accolay. The next year he carried on publicity and propaganda for the Allies in the United States, and in 1918 acted as an accredited special agent of the intelligence department of the United States Navy and as war correspondent for Collier's Weekly.
After the war he established his home in Washington, D. C. , and resumed his practice of writing in the winter and traveling in the summer. He died in Washington.
In 1905 he sailed as a surgeon aboard the Endymion in a transatlantic yacht race, went ashore for a few days, found France to his liking, and began a sojourn there that lasted fourteen years. In 1907 he and two friends crossed the English Channel in a motor boat, cruised inland across Europe through rivers and canals from the mouth of the Seine to the Black Sea, and were wrecked in a violent storm off the Bosporus (Across Europe in a Motor Boat, 1908). In 1924, with a friend, he sailed to Central and South American ports on a five-thousand-mile cruise in a ketch of his own design and construction, writing several serial stories while on board.
He had a lively, vigorous style, and he acquired great skill in shaping and weaving incidents into plot, though he regarded the study of technique as belonging to the later years when the search for physical adventure becomes impossible (Woman's Home Companion, August 1925, p. 112). For Rowland, however, no quiet years in which to achieve a finished technique intervened between adventurous living and death.
