The story of an up-to-date boy who achieves his ambition against a headwind of difficulty. Son of a Gloucester “skipper” lost on Georges, he is brought up by his grandfather, and inheriting a keen love of vessels, desires to become a naval architect. Obliged to leave high school, he goes to work in an Essex shipyard, hoping to obtain a practical knowledge of vessels. He studies naval architecture there in rainy intervals when shipbuilding is impossible; takes a fishing trip to Georges, and another, full of exciting adventure, to the halibut fletching grounds off the coast of Labrador.
“Boys who delight in adventure, briskly told, will surely find entertainment and profit in reading this wholesome and lively story.”--New York Examiner.
Camp and Trail

A story for boys and girls who delight in adventure. Two English boys with their friend, an American collegian, go into the woods of Maine to hunt deer and moose. But they never kill wantonly or for mere sport--only for food or in self-defence. They study the ways of the great game of the woods, and breathe in health, inspiration and noble thoughts with the odor of the pines and the air of lake and mountain.
