Description

THE TEENAGED CAPTAIN The sailors knew that they were lost. All rose, giving a terrible cry, which was perhaps heard on the Pilgrim. A terrible blow from the monster's tail had just struck the whale-boat underneath. The boat, thrown into the air with irresistible violence, fell back, broken in three pieces, in the midst of waves furiously lashed by the whale's bounds. Young Dick Sand has just been a sailor on the Pilgrim, a whaler on a Pacific Ocean hunt between South America and New Zealand. But the captain and the rest of the crew have been killed trying to harpoon a whale. Now fifteen year old Dick was captain! Nor was this to be a simple voyage to safety, even as he tries to train castaways from another shipwreck Tom, Act�on, Austin, Bat, Nan and even Dingo the dog to help him with the vessel. For the cook, Negoro, has other plans for the crew and passengers of the Pilgrim. Trick the boat to a course to Angola -- and sell Dick and all the others into slavery!

Author Biography:

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a French novelist, poet and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
