An indulged lad, the son of rich parents, falls overboard from a
transatlantic steamer and is rescued by the crew of a fishing-smack
off the Banks of Newfoundland. The boy has to stay with the men and
make himself useful until the fishing season is over. The hardy life
of the sea makes a man of him by the time he is restored to his
parents.
"Now Aprile is over and melted the snow,
And outer Noo Bedford we shortly must tow;
Yes, out o' Noo Bedford we shortly must clear,
We're the whalers that never see wheat in the ear."
MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
Feats on the Fiord.
Macmillan. .50
A vivid picture of Norwegian life of the eighteenth century. Full of
action and interest, and conveying much information as to Northern
ways and customs in such a manner that it becomes a part of the story.
MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
The Peasant and the Prince.
Houghton. .40
Whatever we may think of the literary quality of Miss Martineau's
work, the practical achievements of her life were remarkable....
The Peasant and the Prince is a good example of her method. It is
a sketch of the condition of French society just before the
outbreak of the Revolution. Only the first part can be called
fiction, and that only in a superficial sense.
