When he left Mr. Bates, his father sent him to Medical College to Leyden in Holland. He got an appointment on the Swallow where he stayed for four years after which he thought he would settle down in London. His master Mr. Bates used to send him some of his patients and he bought a small house and got married. When his master died in 1689, he found himself in great financial difficulties. So, he decided to go to sea again. In the next six years he was a surgeon in two ships and he travelled to the east and West Indies. In his spare time he would read books on sea voyages and when he was ashore he would pass his time studying the strange people and their languages and customs. As the last of the voyages was very interesting, once again he tried for three years to settle ashore with his family as a doctor. But this time also he did not do well. So he accepted a good offer from the master of the Antelope, which set sail from Bristol on May 4, 1699.

Let's imagine a citizen's ordinary day at work. The morning probably starts with a cup of coffee/tea, followed by greeting the colleagues. Then comes the inevitable, which is log in the computer. For many of us the third step has become an automatic behavior and it dominates the rest of our work day, receiving and sending dozens of emails.
An e-mail is an electronic mail. It is a computer-aided way of exchanging digital text messages from a sender to one or multiple recipient/s. E-mails operate through a network of computers linked by the Internet. There are commercial server agencies such as Yahoo, Gmail, Ymail, Hotmail, etc. that accept the text message from the sender, forward it and deliver instantly to the digital mailbox of the recipient. If the recipient is not online, the message is stored and delivered later when the recipient is online. It works instantly just with the click of your mouse. It has been a powerful communication tool in modern life.
