Excerpt from Adrift in the Pacific She was a schooner Of a hundred tons. Her name was the Sleuth, but you would have sought it in vain on her stem, for an accident of some sort had torn it away. In this latitude, at the beginning Of March, the nights are short. The day would dawn about five O'clock. But would the dangers that threatened the schooner grow less when the sun illumined the sky? Was not the frail vessel at the mercy Of the waves? Undoubtedly; and only the calming Of the billows and the lulling Of the gale could save her from that most awful Of shipwrecks - foundering in the open sea far from any coast on which the survivors might find safety.

Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ...had not looked upon for three long months. And beyond, hundreds of miles away, was this New Zealand that he did not despair of seeing again. Baxter busied himself in hoisting the new flag which he had brought with him, and nailing to the flagstaff the plate giving the position of French Den at six miles up the course of the stream. Then, about one o'clock in the afternoon, they started homewards. On the way Donagan shot a brace of pintail and lapwing which were skimming over the river; and towards four o'clock, as dusk was coming on, they reached the cave. Gordon was told of all that had passed, and agreed that the seals should be attacked as soon as the weather permitted. In fact, the winter was nearly over. During the last week of August and the first week of September, the sea-breeze blew. A series of squalls brought on a great increase of temperature. The snow began to melt, the surface of the lake began to break up with a deafening noise. The bergs that did not melt in the lake were swept into the river, and, piled one on the other, formed a barrier that did not clear away till the loth of September. And so the winter had passed. Owing to the precautions that had been taken, the little colony had not suffered much. All had kept in good health, and the studies having been attended to, Gordon had had hardly one complaint to deal with. One day, however, he had had to chastise Dole, whose conduct required punishment. Several times the obstinate boy had refused to do what he was told, and Gordon had reprimanded him, but he took no notice of his observations. And in the end Gordon sentenced him to be flogged. And so Dole received a birching at the hands of Wilcox, who had been selected by lot for the post of public executioner. And the...

Excerpt from Adrift in America: Or Work and Adventure in the States It was on returning home that my real adventures began, for though I saw enough hard weather and did a great deal of hard work in that five years, it was after all nothing more than comes in the course of learning his profession to every young seaman. And to tell the truth, I was pretty tired of the sea. It did not take me long as a youngster to learn to discount the romance of it, which lies chie y either in ignorant imagination, or in the memory of some old salt who has forgotten the tough salt horse and weevilly biscuit to remember that he was then young and strong and able to enjoy himself when he got a rare chance. And apart from all romance there did not seem to be very much in the business. It was not only monotonous but poorly paid. So that is the reason why I made up my mind to go to America and see what could be done there. And if I did not succeed in making money, at any rate I had a very varied time and learnt something of the inside of a country.

Adrift on the Pacific by Edward S. Ellis (R.H. Jayne) and his officers, suddenly felt an alarming jar, which shook the steamer from stem to stern. It was noticed that the engine instantly stopped and the enormous ship gradually came to rest upon the long, heaving swell of the Pacific. In a few minutes it was ascertained that the steamer had broken the shaft of her propeller, thus rendering the all-important screw useless. This necessitated the hoisting of her sails, and a monotonous voyage to her destination, a return to San Francisco, or a long deviation to Honolulu for repairs. While the necessary investigation was going on, a sail had been sighted bearing down upon them, and in half an hour it came-to, a short distance off, in the hope of being able to afford some assistance--as the sight of a steamer lying motionless on the water meant that something was amiss. This new craft was the schooner Coral, a stanchly-built, sharp-bowed little vessel of forty tons burden, built for the Honolulu trade. She was about seven years old, very We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
