Book Recommendation: A Sea Tale, from Art Cooper
I recently discovered William Clark Russell and was blown away. Best read ever: [*Marooned: A Sea Tale*](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006ESGW18/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=mynoleli-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B006ESGW18&adid=1C9HWPTA2TR88VKY6WXJ). Largely forgotten today except by fans of sea stories, [W. Clark Russell](http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3267621.William_Clark_Russell) wrote close to 50 novels of the sea. I had never heard of Russell until I read the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Five Orange Pips." During the intro to that story Dr. Watson is reading one of Russell's stories during a very stormy London day.
