Marryatt, Captain Marryat, Kapitein Snarleyyow, or, the Dog Fiend E-text prepared by Ted Garvin, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Snarleyyow, or, the Dog Fiend" by Frederick Marryat is a novel written during the early 19th century that melds adventure with elements of historical fiction. The story is set in the year 1699 on board the cutter "Yungfrau", focusing on Lieutenant Cornelius Vanslyperken, an avaricious and cowardly officer, and his unappealing dog, Snarleyyow. The narrative likely explores themes of cruelty, loyalty, and the dynamics of power aboard a ship through the interactions between Vanslyperken, his subordinates, and the inscrutable Snarleyyow, who embodies a villainous spirit. The opening of the novel introduces us to the bleak yet lively atmosphere aboard the "Yungfrau". Lieutenant Vanslyperken and his crew are engaged in routine naval duties while struggling against the harsh conditions of winter. We are introduced to Obadiah Coble, the second officer, who appears indifferent to the protagonist's biting remarks, and Smallbones, the unfortunate cabin boy, often at the mercy of Vanslyperken's capriciousness and taken advantage of by Snarleyyow. As the lieutenant grapples with his frustrations, Snarleyyow showcases his aggressive nature, leading to a heated conflict with Smallbones. This tension-setting scene lays the groundwork for the ensuing adventures and conflicts that are sure to unfold as the characters navigate their tumultuous lives at sea.
