About this book

Snarleyyow, Or, The Dog Fiend, is by Frederick Marryat. Chapter One is headed Introduction of Divers Parties and a Red-Herring, and says that in the month of January, 1699, a one-masted vessel, with black sides, was running along the coast near Beachy Head.

The text says flogging a lad like Smallbones was too usual an occurrence to excite surprise, and that the lad received his three dozen without a murmur. The text says Snarleyyow, whom the marine had not watched, ran up to the lad and inflicted a severe bite. Mynheer Krause tells Wilhelmina that their young friend will, he trusts, stay with them some time. Ramsay, as soon as he landed, shows a white handkerchief on a bayonet fixed to the muzzle of a musket, and one of the men says there is a flag of truce.
