Book excerpt: Much to my surprise, I found that neither Nicholas Naranovitsch nor Bella nor my mother wouldconsent to witness my experiments with dynamite that day.As my old chum approached to greet me on the lawn before breakfast the day following, I could nothelp admiring his fine, tall, athletic figure. I don't know how it is, but I have always felt, somehow, asif I looked up at him, although we were both exactly the same height-six feet one without ourboots. I suppose it must have been owing to his standing so erect, while I slouched a little. Perhapsmy looking up to him mentally had something to do with it."You'll come to-day, won't you?" I said, referring to the experiments."Of course I will, old boy; but," he added, with a smile, "only on one condition.""What may that be?""That you don't bother Bella with minute details."Of course I promised not to say a word unless asked for explanations, and after breakfast we allwent to a part of the grounds which I wished to bring under cultivation. It was at that timeencumbered with several large trees, old roots, and a number of boulders."Come along with us, Lancey," I said to the groom, who was also my laboratory assistant, andwhom I met in the stable-yard, the scene of his memorable blowing-up. "I am about to try the effectof an explosive, and wish you to understand the details.""Yes, sir," replied Lancey, with a respectful touch of his cap; "I must say, sir, if you'll allow me, Inever knowed any one like you, sir, for goin' into details except one, and that one-""Ah, yes, I know, that was your friend the Scotch boy," said I, interrupting; but Lancey was aprivileged servant, and would not be interrupted."Yes, sir," he resumed, "the Scotch boy Sandy. We was at school together in Edinburgh, where I gotthe most o' my edication, and I never did see such a boy, sir, for goin' into-""Yes, yes, Lancey, I know; but I haven't time to talk about him just now. We are going to the bit ofwaste ground in the hollow; follow us there."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Track of the Troops: A Tale of Modern War Jeffry childers, the hero and narrator of this tale, was introduced to me by Mr. Brain, a friend Who, in the course of a pretty long acquaintance, has favoured me With numerous introductions to people of varied character - good, bad, and ih different. Mr. Childers was so importunate, and urged me With so much fervour to supervise his work - to point his moral and adorn his tale - that I con sented to do so on the distinct understanding that I should be entitled to verify all his facts, modify his sentences, reverse his objectionable judgments, and exclude everything that should in any degree savour of exaggeration. The intelligent reader Will thus easily understand the relation that sub sists between J effry Childers and myself.

But I suppose you must have your way. You always had, dear boy.""But never in opposition to your wishes, had I? Now be just, mother.""Quite true, Jeff, quite true. How comes it, I wonder, that you are so fond of fire, smoke, fumes, crash, clatter, and explosions?""Really," said I, somewhat amused by the question, "I cannot tell, unless it be owing to something in that law of compensation which appears to permeate the universe. You have such an abhorrence of fire, fumes, smoke, crash, clatter, and explosions, that your only son is bound, as it were, to take special delight in chemical analysis and combination, to say nothing of mechanical force and contrivance, in order that a balance of some sort may be adjusted which would otherwise be thrown out of order by your--pardon me--comparative ignorance of, and indifference to such matters.""Nay, Jeff," replied my mother, gently, with a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable--I might even say amazing--personal adventures which I am about to relate occurred quite recently.They are so full of interest to myself and to my old mother, that I hasten to write them down while yet vivid and fresh in my memory, in the hope that they may prove interesting,--to say nothing of elevating and instructive--to the English-speaking portions of the human race throughout the world.The dear old lady to whom I have just referred--my mother--is one of the gentlest, meekest, tenderest beings of my acquaintance. Her regard for me is almost idolatrous. My feelings towards her are tinged with adoration.From my earliest years I have been addicted to analysis.Some of my younger readers may not perhaps know that by analysis is meant the reduction of compound things to their elements--the turning of things, as it were, inside out and tearing them to pieces. All the complex toys of infancy I was wont to reduce to their elements; I turned them inside out to see what they were made of, and how they worked. A doll, not my own, but my sister Bella's, which had moveable eyelids and a musical stomach, was treated by me in this manner, the result being that I learned little, while my poor sister suffered much. Everything in my father's house suffered more or less from this inquiring tendency of my mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When at a sufficient distance from the ship, an order was given by the officer in charge. Immediately the outrigger on the right or starboard side was run out by invisible hands to its full extent -- apparently fifteen feet beyond the bow of the launch; then the inner end of the outrigger was tilted violently into the air, so that the other end with its torpedo was thrust down ten feet below the surface of the water. This, I was told, is about the depth at which an enemy's ship ought to be struck. The launch, still going at full speed, was now supposed to have run so close to the enemy, that the submerged torpedo was about to strike her.R. M. Ballantyne (24 April 1825 - 8 February 1894) was a Scottish juvenile fiction writer.Born Robert Michael Ballantyne in Edinburgh, he was part of a famous family of printers and publishers. At the age of 16 he went to Canada and was six years in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. He returned to Scotland in 1847, and published his first book the following year, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America. For some time he was employed by Messrs Constable, the publishers, but in 1856 he gave up business for the profession of literature, and began the series of adventure stories for the young with which his name is popularly associated.
