Transcriber's Notes:
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate. Thus the page number of the illustration might not match the page number in the List of Illustrations, and the order of illustrations may not be the same in the List of Illustrations and in the book. Also the titles in the List of Illustrations do not necessarily match that of the illustration captions.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
On page 55, "Andrews" was replaced with "Andrew's".
On page 71, "top-gallantmast-head" was replaced with "top-gallant-masthead".
On page 73, two instances of "top-gallantmast head" were replaced with "top-gallant-masthead".
On page 96, "buntin" was replaced with "bunting".
