How the three
always spent their summers with Abel Zachariah and Mrs. Abel, and
provided for their comfort until in the fullness of years they went to
their final rest; and how Edward erected a stone on Itigailit Island to
his father's memory. But already our story has grown too long.
We may be sure in the busy years that followed, Bobby and Jimmy never
forgot the cabins at Abel's Bay, nor the cozy hours in the easy chairs
before the big box stove. Nor Skipper Ed's teaching: "Destiny is God's
will."
THE END
The Wilderness Castaways
_By_
DILLON WALLACE
ILLUSTRATED BY H.S. WATSON
One of the "meatiest" stories for boys that has seen the light for many
years. The tale of how two lads, one a self-reliant Newfoundlander, and
the other an over-pampered New Yorker, went adrift in a fog on Hudson
Bay and were forced to make their own living out of the wild in a
sub-Arctic winter. It is full of adventure from first to last.--_Boston
Globe_.
Full of hunting, of peril, and privation, and shows how a grim outdoors
can transform the life of a self-centered youth. It is the work of a man
who knows the heart of a boy, as well as the heart of the
wilderness.--_Epworth Herald._
One of the best boys' stories published is this record of a spoiled New
York lad and a sailor boy who became separated from a hunting party.
Their adventures, and the change wrought in the selfish city lad are
told with a vividness and sense of humor which will appeal at once to
the boy reader or any other.
