The Young Ice Whalers
by Winthrop PackardA look of pride and delight beamed in the careworn face of the elder Desmond, and the stoop came out of his shoulders a little as if a weight had been lifted from them.

by Lillian Frances MentorHarry had long since learned to love Enola, but she had told him positively when he approached her on the subject of marriage, that she only thought of him as a brother, but that sometime she might learn to think of him in a different way; until that time, however, he must not mention the subject again.

The Boy's Book of the Sea

Then wooden ships, now steel leviathans; then ..
