Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Upon the death, in 1889, of the last surviving son of Captain Robert William Eastwick - the Master Mariner whose life and adventures are recorded in the following pages - a box of old family papers passed into my hands, and on going through them with a view to their preservation or destruction, I came across an autobiographical manuscript that at once arrested my attention. It was the story of my grandfather's life, dictated by himself about the year 1836. With a few additions from other authentic sources, and especially from some valuable papers placed at my disposal by a member of the family, the narrative is given in Chapters II. to XVI. of this book.
