    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “The sharp bow of Zenas Daniels’ green and red dory grazed the yellow beach on the west shore of Brig Island, a wooded patch of land lying about a mile off the Maine Shore in the vicinity of Casco Bay.

    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “"Up with your helm there, Noddy! Luff her up or you'll have the Curlew on the rocks!" "That's right, luff!" cried Billy Raynor, adding his voice to Jack Ready's command.

  • THE OCEAN WIRELESS BOYS ON THE ATLANTIC
    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “Jack Ready was making his way home. He was a tall, well-set-up lad of sixteen, and when in a good mood was a wholesome, cheerful-looking youngster.

  • THE MOTOR RANGERS THROUGH THE SIERRAS
    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “"Say Nat, I thought that this was to be a pleasure trip?" Joe Hartley, the perspiration beading his round, good-natured countenance, pushed back his sombrero and looked up whimsically from the punctured tire over which he was laboring.

  • THE BOY SCOUTS ON THE RANGE
    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “Northward from Truxton, Arizona, the desert stretches a red-hot, sandy arm, the elbow of which crooks about several arid ranges of baked hills clothed with a scanty growth of chaparral. Across this sun-bitten solitude of sand and sage brush extend two parallel steel lines—the branch of the Southern Pacific which at Truxton takes a bold plunge into the white solitudes ...

    JOHN HENRY GOLDFRAP
    Excerpt: “The West Indian liner, Tropic Queen, one of the great vessels owned by the big shipping combine at whose head was Jacob Jukes, the New York millionaire, was plunging southward through a rolling green sea about two hundred miles to the east of Hatteras.
