目录

Jack Easy is sent to a school at which there is no flogging.In which Mr Easy has his first lesson as to zeal in his Majesty's Service.In which our hero proves that all on board should equally sacrifice decency to duty.In which our hero begins to act and think for himself.In which Jack's cruise is ended, and he regains the Harpy.In which our hero sets off on another cruise, in which he is not blown off shore.In which our hero is brought up all standing under a press of sail.Jack goes on another cruise—Love and diplomacy—Jack proves himself as clever for three, and upsets all the arrangements of the high contracting powers.In which the old proverb is illustrated, "That you must not count your chickens before they are hatched.""Philosophy made Easy," upon agrarian principles, the subject of some uneasiness to our hero—The first appearance, but not the last, of an important personage.A regular set-to, in which the parties beaten are not knocked down, but rise higher and higher at each discomfiture—Nothing but the troops could have prevented them from going up to heaven.Jack leaves the service, in which he had no business, and goes home to mind his own business.In which our hero finds himself an orphan, and resolves to go to sea again without the smallest idea of equality.In which there is another slight difference of opinion between those who should be friends.THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG™ LICENSE
