Aus dem Buch: "Alles dies war die Vorbereitung zu einem Ereigniß, das für mich von der größten Wichtigkeit war, und vielleicht bis auf diesen Augenblick einen unmerklichen Einfluß auf meinen Geist, wie auch auf meinen Charakter übte. Brandons Berufung erregte in unserem bescheidenen Kreise großes Aufsehen. Er hatte zwar Sorge dafür getragen, daß ich erfahren sollte, was ich unter Trunkenheit verstehe, und so dachte ich, daß er an dem Nachmittage seiner Erwählung betrunken gewesen sein müsse, obschon er seinen Zustand so gut zu verbergen verstand, daß es nicht den Anschein hatte." Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) war ein englischer Marineoffizier und Schriftsteller.

Kapitän Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) war ein englischer Marineoffizier und Schriftsteller. Nach Dienst auf weiteren Schiffen und der Teilnahme am Britisch-Amerikanischen Krieg (1812-1814) wurde er im Oktober 1812 für den Rang eines Leutnants vorgesehen. Mit Ende der Kriege gegen Napoleon wurde Marryat 1815 zum Fregattenkapitän (Commander) befördert. Seinen zahlreichen Seeromanen, die mehrfach ins Deutsche übersetzt wurden, wurde eine "treue Auffassung des Lebens" und eine "gewandte Darstellung" attestiert. Zu Marryats Bewunderern zählen Schriftsteller wie Joseph Conrad und Ernest Hemingway. Auch Cecil Scott Forester und Patrick O''Brian profitierten in ihrer literarischen Produktion von ihm. Aus dem Buch: "Wir steuerten nun mehr nach dem Süden und entdeckten nach drei Tagen eine andere kleine Insel. Sie war augenscheinlich sehr waldig, aber nicht groß. Wir legten windwärts davon bei, und da wir keine Einwohner bemerkten, so ließen wir ein Boot nieder und schickten den ersten Maten zum Recognosciren an''s Ufer. Er kehrte nach einer Stunde zurück und theilte mir mit, die Insel sey mit tragenden Cocosbäumen bedeckt; auch habe er mehrere wilde Schweine, aber keine Spur von Bewohnern bemerkt. Einen Ankerplatz habe er nicht entdecken können, denn das Ufer steige senkrecht, wie eine Mauer aus dem Ocean auf. Wir liefen daher nach dem Lee, und entdeckten nun, daß sich ein Riff von Korallenfelsen fast eine Stunde weit an dieser Seite der Insel hinzog."
