Tales of the Fish Patrol - Jack London - Book 19 Title: Tales of the Fish Patrol Overview: Wildest among the fisher-folk may be accounted the Chinese shrimp-catchers. It is the habit of the shrimp to crawl along the bottom in vast armies till it reaches fresh water when it turns about and crawls back again to the salt. And where the tide ebbs and flows, the Chinese sink great bag-nets to the bottom, with gaping mouths, into which the shrimp crawls and from which it is transferred to the boiling pot. This in itself would not be bad, were it not for the small mesh of the nets, so small that the tiniest fishes, little new-hatched things not a quarter of an inch long, cannot pass through. The beautiful beaches of Points Pedro and Pablo, where are the shrimp-catchers villages, are made fearful by the stench from myriads of decaying fish, and against this wasteful destruction, it has ever been the duty of the fish patrol to act. These stories are set in the waterways around San Francisco Bay and involve the fish patrol with a variety of characters of different ethnicity and cultural backgrounds. Famed American author Jack London lived and worked on the waterfront in his early years. He roamed from Benicia to Alviso as an ‘Oyster Pirate’ and later became a member of the ‘Fish Patrol’ enforcing fish poaching laws. It was during his stay in Benicia that he began to write and where he garnered the experiences and inspiration for two of his well-known works, “Tales of the Fish Patrol” and “John Barleycorn.” The Jurgensen Old Corner Saloon was located at Jack London Haunts (1892-1895) Semple Slips / Jurgensen Saloon and was a favorite hangout for London and provided much material for “John Barleycorn.” Published: 1906 Series: Short Story Collections #3 Author: Jack London Genre: Action & Adventure Fiction, Published 1900 Onward, Single Author Collections Episode: Tales of the Fish Patrol - Jack London - Book 19 Part: 1 of 1 Length Part: 2:56:03 Book: 19 Length Book: 2:56:03 Episodes: 1 - 7 of 7 Narrator: Don W.

The People of the Abyss - Jack London - Book 17 Title: The People of the Abyss Overview: Jack London lived for a time within the grim and grimy world of the East End of London, where half a million people scraped together hardly enough on which to survive. Even if they were able to work, they were paid only enough to allow them a pitiful existence. He grew to know and empathize with these forgotten (or ignored) people as he spoke with them and tasted the workhouse, life on the streets, ... and the food, which was cheap, barely nutritious, and foul. He writes about his experiences in a fluid and narrative style, making it very clear what he thinks of the social structures which created the Abyss, and of the millionaires who live high on the labors of a people forced to live in squalor. "... The food this managing class eats, the wine it drinks, ... the fine clothes it wears, are challenged by eight million mouths which have never had enough to fill them, and by twice eight million bodies which have never been sufficiently clothed and housed."

The Mutiny of the Elsinore - Jack London - Book 14, Part 3 Title: The Mutiny of the Elsinore Overview: The Mutiny of the Elsinore is a novel by the American writer Jack London first published in 1914. The novel is partially based on London's voyage around Cape Horn on the Dirigo in 1912. The character "De Casseres", who espouses nihilistic viewpoints similar to the ideas of French philosopher Jules de Gaultier, is based on London's real-life friend and journalist Benjamin De Casseres. This is the story of a voyage of a sailing ship from Baltimore to Seattle, east-to-west around Cape Horn in the winter. It is set in 1913 and the glory days of “wooden ships and iron men” are long over. The Elsinore is a four-masted iron sailing vessel carrying a cargo of 5000 tons of coal. She has a “bughouse” crew of misfits and incompetents. This book was published in 1915 and some actions of some of the characters seem odd to us today. There is romance, but it is strangely platonic. Two important characters disappear with no real explanation. The disparity between the officers on the one hand and the fo’c’sle on the other is striking (literally). Some people will be offended by the bigotry. The “men against the sea” descriptions -and the weather descriptions- are among Jack London’s finest. In my opinion, he is right up there with Joseph Conrad and Joshua Slocum in this effort. We also have a mutiny, complete with shootings and deliberate starvation with chapter 38 particularly exciting.
