Snarleyyow; or, The Dog Fiend
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Snarleyyow; or, The Dog Fiend" by Captain Frederick Marryat is a novel written in the early 19th century. Set against a backdrop of naval adventures in the late 17th century, the story revolves around the interactions of various hapless characters onboard a vessel, with a particular focus on the mischief and antics of an ill-tempered dog named Snarleyyow and his master, Lieutenant Vanslyperken. As the crew members navigate their increasingly chaotic situations, the narrative hints at underlying themes of cruelty, survival, and the absurdities of maritime life. The opening of "Snarleyyow; or, The Dog Fiend" introduces us to the small naval cutter Yungfrau, manned by a dysfunctional crew, including the hapless servant Smallbones and the eccentric lieutenant, Mr. Vanslyperken. The events kick off on a cold January morning in 1699, with the introduction of the ungrateful Snarleyyow, an unattractive and aggressive dog that seems to enjoy tormenting Smallbones, who is already mistreated by his master. As tensions unfold between the lieutenant, his dog, and the crew, we witness a series of humorous, yet grim interactions that set the tone for the story, highlighting the cruelty and camaraderie of life at sea.
