Excerpt from The Cruise of Her Majesty's Ship "Bacchante," 1879-1882, Vol. 2: The East; Japan, China, Straits Settlements, Ceylon, Egypt, Palestine, the Mediterranean Monday. Thermometer the air feels moister, and it is more cloudy. After the dinner hour the admiral formed the squadron into single column in line ahead, for we are passing what is supposed to be the Pandora bank, though when we sound we get no bottom at 130 fathoms there evidently are shallows hereabouts, judging from the clouds that gather over the surface of the water, warmed by the sun, and the troops of birds on the water as if after fish. We are still making between five and six knots, but there are many rain-squalls, and after each of these the wind lulls and then puffs up again, and so it continues. All night the rain comes down in torrents, everything is reeking with moisture. Sept. 14th. - A finer morning and the sun out. Thermometer 80 on deck under the awnings, but down in the gun-room it was over for all our ports are kept barred in. At drill after evening quarters the flagship made the signal man overboard, and hove to, and so did the Tourmaline, and both we and she got our cutters ready for lowering. The flagship recalled her own boat and made signal man saved. We heard afterwards he had not really fallen overboard but only from a little way aloft, and brought up luckily without injury in the chains. The trades are falling very light now, and we crossed the tenth parallel this evening. A poor little sandpiper alighted on the spanker-boom and another in the cutter, looking very thin and tired. The banana bunches in the boats are ripe. After sunset there was more rain. It is just a year to-day since we left Marlborough House. Sept. 15th. - Becalmed nearly the Whole day with the ship's head pointing towards New Guinea; a gentle puff of air now and then, but the sun very hot, and no rain in the daytime. At pm. We saw two small sharks swimming round the ship: they were each about five or six feet long. The paymaster got a hook and some pork, put it overboard astern off the poop while he was watching the Shark on the starboard quarter, slowly swimming round three or four yards off, and was holding the line lightly in his hand, suddenly from under the port side of the counter up came another shark he had not perceived, and hooked himself on with a jerk that made the Old man sing out that he was nearly being hauled overboard. The shark was afterwards hauled up by the bluejackets on the glacis, rolled up in canvass, and taken forward, but first, While the hook was being extracted, a gymnastic club had to be put in his jaws to force and hold them open.

This book offers a rare firsthand glimpse into the life of a 19th century British naval officer. Prince Albert Victor, the grandson of Queen Victoria, kept a detailed diary of his three-year voyage aboard the HMS Bacchante, which took him to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Far East. His account provides a vivid picture of the customs, cultures, and landscapes he encountered on his journey, as well as insights into the day-to-day routine of a naval officer. A fascinating read for anyone interested in naval history or 19th century travel writing.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... He passes last round the upper deck between the two lines of blue-jackets drawn up bareheaded and in their Sunday uniform. Inspection over, the sentry tolls the bell, and all find their way to their places on the main deck for divine service. The chants and the hymns seem to be sung with even more spirit than usual, and as it is the first Sunday in the month there is a celebration of Holy Communion. In the Bacchante this always takes place on the main deck at a small oak table covered with a red cloth, from beside which also, instead of from the more formal pulpit or reading desk, the prayers and lessons of the Sunday service are always read; those who wish retire on deck, and the rest remain where they happen to be on their forms; a canvas screen shuts off more than half the main deck. Occasionally there are early celebrations of the Holy Communion in the captain's large forecabin, at 8 A.M., which have been attended by about as many as the mid-day celebrations. After church service the men go to their dinners, but to-day soon come up again on deck, for being within sight of home predisposes every one for a cheery chat over their quiet pipe, as they discuss the events of the cruise and the greetings of the morrow. We go close in by St. Aldhelm's Head, and now we can distinguish very plainly Worth, Tillywhim, and further on beyond, Swanage and the Old Harry chalk pinnacles. We passed through the Needles at 1.30 P.m., then up the Solent past Cowes, and at 3.30 P.m. saluted the commander-in-chiefs flag with seventeen guns, and at 4 P.M. anchored at Spithead in seven fathoms. Found here H.M.S. Warrior. Everything looks very natural in the bright spring afternoon, though, coming from the tropics, it feels very cool with the thermometer...
