Erling the Bold

by R. M. Ballantyne


Erling the Bold is a juvenile adventure fiction story written by Robert Michael Ballantyne, a Scottish author of juvenile fiction who wrote more than 100 books. 

Excerpts:

The two shallops moved swiftly towards the islands, their oars shivering the liquid mirror of the sea, and producing almost the only sound that disturbed the universal stillness, for at that early hour Nature herself seemed buried in deep repose. A silvery mist hung over the water, through which the innumerable rocks and islands assumed fantastic shapes, and the more distant among them appeared as though they floated in air. A few seagulls rose startled from their nests, and sailed upwards with plaintive cries, as the keels of the boats grated on the rocks, and the men stepped out and hauled them up on the beach of one of the islets.
