Afloat And Ashore is a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper. It tells the story of Miles Wallingford, a young man who sets out to sea to escape his troubled past and seek adventure. Along the way, he encounters various challenges and dangers, including pirates, storms, and shipwrecks. Despite these obstacles, Miles remains determined to carve out a new life for himself on the high seas. As he navigates the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean, he also grapples with issues of morality, loyalty, and love. Afloat And Ashore is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the early 19th century.Our situation was now far from pleasant. The tides and currents, in that high latitude, run with great velocity; and, then, at a moment when it was of the greatest importance to know precisely where the ship was, we were left to the painful uncertainty of conjecture, and theories that might be very wide of the truth. The captain had nerve enough, notwithstanding, to keep on the larboard tack until daylight, in the hope of getting in sight of the mountains of Terra del Fuego. No one, now, expected we should be able to fetch through the Straits; but it would be a great relief to obtain a sight of the land, as it would enable us to get some tolerably accurate notions of our position.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
