Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outpost "The last day of October!" said the Sun to himself, - "the last day of my favorite month, and the birthday of my little namesake! See if I don't make the most of it!" So the Sun called to all the winds and all the breezes, who, poor things! had but just gone to bed after a terrible night's work, ordering them to get up directly, and sweep the sky as clear as a bell; and bid all the clouds, whether big white mountains, little pinky islands, sweeping mares'-tails, or freckled mackerel-back, to put themselves out of the way, and keep out of it until November; when, as the Sun remarked with a sigh, they would have it all their own way. "And as soon as that job's done," continued he, "you may go to bed again in the Mountains of the Moon; for you will only disturb me if you are about."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outpost of the Lost: An Arctic Adventure But this time the lead stayed open and the Proteus put distance between herself and the men on shore at a rate that made no secret of Captain Pike's anxiety to separate himself from his late passengers as speedily as might be. For six fretful days his ship had lain at anchor while the passengers whom Cap tain Pike had brought north disembarked them selves and their belongings. Then he steamed away only to be blocked by the ice before he had made good a mariner's mile. For six days he lay there, ice-locked and helpless. On the seventh day, that is to say August 26, 1881, the lead clove a path through the me of Lady Franklin Bay and the Pro teus was under way and gone for good.

From her own drowned valleys, the harbours that knew the ships of Gades and of Gaul, her people have moved westward and linked the Old world with the new. At times she catches the light that floods across from Europe, and adds to its brightness the ardent glow of her response. At times the seawmist gathers along her mountain-barriers, and she sinks back into the haze of the Atlantic, elusive' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outpost in Papua There are two ways of studying the work of the Church abroad. On the one hand, bearing in mind the great Final Object, we can master the annual reports, compare the statistics, register gain or loss, and grapple in earnest with the problems which present themselves. And indeed we want much more of this kind of conscientious study. Our missionaries at the front have a right to the very best wisdom and experience and knowledge which the Home Church can offer for the problems of the Mission Field go down to the roots of Christianity itself. But there is another and easier kind of study. There is the work of the Imagination, whereby we seek to grasp the everyday facts of Mission Work, and make them live before our eyes as we sit at home. We sadly lack imagination, and the average Churchman's conception of the circumstances of the Mission Field, based upon a few crude facts, is often ludicrously beside the mark. The consequence is that we fail to offer the intelligent sympathy which might often give the lonely Missionary the consoling knowledge that at least we understand his difficulties. He wants stronger meat to support him in his work than a sentimental admiration based upon ignorance of the facts.
