If Lars Marlin had three wishes, two have already been granted: he has escaped from Devil's Island ... and he has come face to face with the man who put him there-Paco Corvino. But the third wish-putting a bullet in Corvino-will have to wait. They're off to sea, and not since Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh set sail on the Bounty have two more heated enemies been in the same boat. Corvino is a convict, con-man and killer who has schemed his way into a position as chief steward on a luxury yacht sailing out of Rio de Janeiro. And, in a twist as devious as it is diabolical, he's managed to install Lars-his hated rival-as captain of the very same vessel. And there are even darker twists to come.... Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve ... and what killer cargo he's hiding on board. But the yacht owner's daughter proves to be a beautiful-and dangerous-distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms ... or is she part of Corvino's plot-a deadly trap set with honey? Like several leading writers of the day, L. Ron Hubbard was invited to Hollywood to write scripts, where his superior talent and productivity attracted numerous lucrative offers from the studios. But, as he wrote in a letter to the editor of Argosy magazine in August 1937: "I love to tie a yarn and try to make it blaze in print. The mags will never lose me to the movies. Never, at any salary!" And as Argosy gleefully responded in its pages: "Next to exorcise the Hollywood virus from his veins was L. Ron Hubbard ... he has set to work to give Argosy some more of his rousing yarns. The first, -Cargo of Coffins,' is due to appear in the November 13th issue, and a serial is likely to follow."

In der guten alten Zeit hatte der Schiffskonstrukteur hinsichtlich der Takelung schon seine Schuldigkeit getan, wenn er eine vollst ndige Segelzeichnung mit einem Verzeichnis der Abmessungen der Rundh lzer und allenfalls noch des stehenden Gutes angefertigt hatte. Die Ausf hrung der Beschlagteile konnte er dem Schmied und dem Schlosser, die der Bl cke dem Blockmacher und das brige dem Takelmeister und dem Segelmacher berlassen. Die vorerw hnten Arbeiten wurden in der Regel handwerksm ig betrieben, und dies ist auch der Grund, weshalb in keinem Buch auch nur einigerma en brauchbare Zeichnungen oder Skizzen ber die Einzelheiten der Takelung enthalten waren. Dies hatte sich um die Jahrhundertwende, als die Segelschiffe immer gr er wurden, ge ndert, und vor diesem Hintergund entstand dieses Buch. Autor war der damalige Direktor des Germanischen Lloyds, Friedrich Ludwig Middendorf, ein ausgewiesener Fachmann auf dem Gebiet des Schiffbaus. Gro e Segelschiffe waren sein Steckenpferd. Mit dem Buch verfolgte er akribisch den Zweck, die Literatur ber die Bemastung und Takelung der Schiffe fort zu f hren und dem Schiffbauer jener Tage alle erforderlichen Informationen in geb ndelter Form an die Hand zu geben, die er braucht. Heute stellt das Werk eine einzigartige Informationsquelle ber die Segelschiffahrt vergangener Tage dar, die weit ber technische Aspekte hinaus geht. Im ersten Teil des Buches finden sich die allgemeinen theoretischen Grundlagen, die zum selbst ndigen Entwerfen von Segelzeichnungen erforderlich sind. Im zweiten Teil sind von den verschiedensten Segel- und Dampfschiffstakelungen, die gegenw rtig bei deutschen Schiffen vorkommen, Abbildungen und Anleitungen zur Berechnung der Gr e der einzelnen Teile der Bemastung gegeben. Die Berechnungen sind m glichst bersichtlich gehalten, so dass sich auch der Anf nger leicht darin zurechtfinden kann. Im dritten Teil dieses Buches werden die verschiedenartigsten Beschl ge, Bl cke etc. durch Zeichnungen und Ski

The 1954 film On the Waterfront brought to life the New York docks of the 1950s, when it was often said that a ship, usually a freighter, arrived or departed every 24 minutes, around the clock. Now, the Port of New York is handling more cargo than ever before, but all of it containerised. Along the Waterfront, a followon to Along the Hudson (which looked at passenger ships in the Port of New York), covers the vast and fascinating fleet of freighters that once called at New York, including ships and companies that did not quite make it, such as the Bull Line, Standard Fruit, Torm Lines and the Booth Steamship Company. In this book, William H. Miller takes the reader on an evocative trip back to the days of the New York docks as they were portrayed in On the Waterfront.
