"In a few moments the gigantic water-spout struck the ombu (massive evergreen tree), and enveloped it in its watery folds."
The original French edition of “In Search of the Castaways” was published by Hetzel in 1867-1868 as “Les Enfants du Capitaine Grant” (The Children of Captain Grant). It included 170 engravings by Edouard Riou which are also present in this 1873 English-language edition.
The book tells the story of the quest for Captain Grant of the “Britannia.” After finding a bottle the captain had cast into the ocean after the “Britannia” is shipwrecked, Lord and Lady Glenarvan of Scotland contact Mary and Robert, the young daughter and son of Captain Grant, through an announcement in a newspaper. The government refuses to launch a rescue expedition, but Lord and Lady Glenarvan, moved by the children's condition, decide to do it themselves. The main difficulty is that the coordinates of the wreckage are mostly erased, and only the latitude (37 degrees) is known; thus, the expedition would have to circumnavigate the 37th parallel south. The bottle was retrieved from a shark's stomach, so it is impossible to trace its origin by the currents. Remaining clues consist of a few words in three languages. They are re-interpreted several times throughout the novel to make various destinations seem likely.
Lord Glenarvan makes it his quest to find Grant; together with his wife, Grant's children and the crew of his yacht, the Duncan, they set off for South America. An unexpected passenger in the form of French geographer Jacques Paganel (he missed his steamer to India by accidentally boarding on the Duncan) joins the search. They explore Patagonia, Tristan da Cunha Island, Amsterdam Island, and Australia (a pretext to describe the flora, fauna, and geography of numerous places to the targeted audience). They face many challenges on their journey– avalanche, hurricane, flood, tornado, erupting volcano, wolves, head-hunters, cannibals, you name it. It’s one of Verne’s most exciting adventure stories.

"The time made by the R. E. Lee from New Orleans to St. Louis in 1870, in her famous race with the Natchez, is the best on record, and, inasmuch as the race created a national interest, we give below her time from port to port. The R. E. Lee left New Orleans, Thursday, June 30th, 1870, at 4 o'clock and 55 minutes, p.m; reached St Louis in 3 days, 18 hours, 14 minutes." [From "Life on the Mississippi," page 204]
“Life on the Mississippi” is a classic travel story by Mark Twain, which contains an account of his childhood experiences, as well as his life on the river as a steamboat pilot. It is his first-hand look at navigating the Mississippi by riverboat and the changes that came about after the Civil War. The book was written at about the same time as “Huckleberry Finn” and shares several themes with that classic. Huck Finn makes a lengthy cameo on pages 42–61, a story within the chapter detailing Huck and Jim's attempt to reach Cairo which does not appear in Huckleberry Finn, published two years later.
In September 1883, “The Atlantic Monthly” published a review of the book, in which the following was said: "The material offered by observations on the journey is various beyond enumeration, and much of it is extremely amusing. Hoaxes and exaggerations palmed off by pilots and other natives along the way upon supposed ignorant strangers; stories of gamblers and obsolete robbers; glimpses of character and manners; descriptions of scenery and places; statistics of trade; Indian legends; extracts from the comments of foreign travelers, -- all these occur, interspersed with two or three stories of either humorous or tragic import, or of both together."

It was another fun-filled weekend with Throttle Life and Automotive Rhythms’ long-term consumer engagement 2021 BMW R 18 First Edition as we canvased the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.
First up was the popular Sanctuary at Kingdom Square “Close Out Car Show” with a powerful mix of classics, luxury vehicles, super cars, new and old school muscle as well as our two-wheeled riders.
Next included an early Sunday morning ride to the suburbs of Dulles, VA for one of the area’s largest weekly enthusiasts meet-ups, dubbed the Dulles Dunkin Doughnuts Cars & Coffee. This gathering included exotics such as the infamous DeLorean along with hot rods, muscle cars, custom builds, imports, and a contingent of adventure bikes, bobbers, and sport bikes. Once again, the R 18 happened to be the stand-out.
Throughout the weekend, our R 18 garnered comments from, “now that’s how you spend your money” to “simply gorgeous lines paired with that monster 1800 powertrain.”

“The Chimes” is Dickens’ second Christmas book, the first being “A Christmas Carol.” It continues his social commentaries on the poor. Structured similarly to “A Christmas Carol,” the main character, Trotty, witnesses an alternative future through a series of visions and ultimately is given a second chance to put things right. “The Chimes” was a bestseller in its day, but has since been eclipsed by “A Christmas Carol.” “The Chimes” is illustrated with thirteen engravings by artists John Leech, John Tenniel, Richard Doyle, Daniel Maclise and Clarkson Stanfield.
In all, Dickens wrote five Christmas books: “A Christmas Carol” (1843), “The Chimes” (though dated 1845 it was released in December 1844), “The Cricket on the Hearth” (1845), “The Battle of Life” (1846), and “The Haunted Man” (1848).
After I posted the photos on this car I discovered it was an error car....no windows. I've no idea why I didn't notice before I opened it, but it went straight into a plexiglass container. Going to have to be more careful before I open these I suppose.
