Snarleyyow is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat. It tells the story of a ship's dog named Snarleyyow who is feared by all the sailors on board. The dog is known for his viciousness and his ability to cause trouble. However, the captain of the ship, Captain Cornelius Vanslyperken, takes a liking to Snarleyyow and decides to make him his own personal pet. This decision causes tension among the crew, as they believe the dog is a bad omen and will bring bad luck to the ship. As the story progresses, Snarleyyow's true nature is revealed and the crew must face the consequences of their actions. The novel is a mix of adventure, humor, and drama and provides a unique perspective on life at sea during the 18th century.Vanslyperken fell with great force, was stunned, and lay without motion at the foot of the ladder, while the corporal, whose wrath was always excessive when his blood was up, but whose phlegmatic blood could not be raised without some such decided stimulus as a handspike, now turned round and round the forecastle, like a bull looking for his assailants; but the corporal had the forecastle all to himself, and, as he gradually cooled down, he saw lying close to him the speaking-trumpet of his senior officer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
