MICHAEL SCOTT Scottish novelist (1789 - 1835)   CHECK READING LIST (2)   I had been for six months fourth lieutenant of H.M.S. Gazelle, on board of which Sir Oliver Oakplank had his broad pennant* hoisted, as the commander-in-chief on the African station. The last time we touched at Cape Coast we took in with us a Spanish felucca, that we had previously cut out of the Bonny river, with part of her cargo of slaves on board.       - The Cruise of the Midge (ch. 1)         [Books (First Lines)] Dazzled by the glories of Trafalgar, I, Thomas Cringle, one fine morning in May, 1806, when I was thirteen years old, asked an old uncle to intercede with his former comrade-in-arms, Sir Anthony Hollowell, vice-admiral of the Red Squadron, a Lord of the Admiralty, to find me a berth on one of his Majesty's ships of war without delay.       - Tom Cringle's Log (ch. 1)         [Books (First Lines)] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
