  • The Cannibal Islands by R.M. Ballantyne, Fiction, Classics, Action & Adventure
    R. M. Ballantyne / RMBallantyne
    One of the young men influenced by Ballantyne was Robert Louis Stevenson. He was so impressed with the story of The Coral Island (1857) that he based portions of his famous book Treasure Island (1881) on themes found in Ballantyne. He honoured Ballantyne in the introduction to Treasure Island with the following poem: To the Hesitating Purchaser If sailor tales to sailor tunes, ...

  • The Gorilla Hunters
    M. Ballantyne R. M. Ballantyne / MBallantyne RMBallantyne
    It was five o’clock in the afternoon. There can be no doubt whatever as to that. Old Agnes may say what she pleases-she has a habit of doing so-but I know for certain (because I looked at my watch not ten minutes before it happened) that it was exactly five o’clock in the afternoon when I received a most singular and every way remarkable visit-a visit which has left an indelibl...

  • The Hot Swamp
    M. Ballantyne R. M. Ballantyne / MBallantyne RMBallantyne
    Nearly two thousand seven hundred years ago-or some-where about eight hundred years BuCu-there dwelt a Phoenician sea-captain in one of the eastern sea-ports of Greece-known at that period, or soon after, as Hellas. This captain was solid, square, bronzed, bluff, and resolute, as all sea-captains are-or ought to be-whether ancient or modern. He owned, as well as commanded,...

  • The Island Queen
    M. Ballantyne R. M. Ballantyne / MBallantyne RMBallantyne
    Early one morning, in the year 18 hundred and something, the great Southern Ocean was in one of its calmest moods, insomuch that the cloudlets in the blue vault above were reflected with almost perfect fidelity in the blue hemisphere below, and it was barely possible to discern the dividing-line between water and sky. The only objects within the circle of the horizon that ...

  • The Red Eric
    M. Ballantyne R. M. Ballantyne / MBallantyne RMBallantyne
    Captain Dunning stood with his back to the fireplace in the back-parlour of a temperance coffee-house in a certain town on the eastern seaboard of America. The name of that town is unimportant, and, for reasons with which the reader has nothing to do, we do not mean to disclose it. Captain Dunning, besides being the owner and commander of a South Sea whale-ship, was t...

    Six feet water in the hold, sir! That would not have been a pleasant announcement to the captain of the ’Aurora’ at any time, but its unpleasantness was vastly increased by the fact that it greeted him near the termination of what had been, up to that point of time, an exceedingly prosperous voyage. 'Are you sure, Davis?' asked the captain; 'try again.' He gave t...

    M. Ballantyne R. M. Ballantyne / MBallantyne RMBallantyne
    There is a particular spot in those wild regions which lie somewhere near the northern parts of Baffin’s Bay, where Nature seems to have set up her workshop for the manufacture of icebergs, where Polar bears, in company with seals and Greenland whales, are wont to gambol, and where the family of Jack Frost may be said to have taken permanent possession of the land. One win...

    R. M. Ballantyne / RMBallantyne
    One night, soon after we entered the tropics, an awful storm burst upon our ship. The first squall of wind carried away two of our masts, and left only the foremast standing. There was no room for me upon the lifeboat; but being left behind saved my life -- and the lives of Peterkin and Jack Martin, my two companions. 'Come, boys,' said Jack Martin in a grave tone as we stood o...
