The Crew of the Water Wagtail is a classic adventure novel written by R.M. Ballantyne. The story follows a group of young sailors who embark on a perilous journey across the ocean in their small sailboat, the Water Wagtail. The crew consists of Jack, the captain; Tom, the first mate; Peter, the cook; and Ned, the cabin boy. Together, they face a series of challenges including storms, pirates, and treacherous waters. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a friendly whale and a mysterious island tribe. Despite the dangers they face, the crew remains steadfast in their determination to complete their journey and return home safely. The Crew of the Water Wagtail is a thrilling tale of adventure, friendship, and the power of perseverance.It is evident that the land over there is peopled with savages who, probably, never saw white men before. If we treat these young fellows kindly, and send them away with gifts in their hands, we shall, no doubt, make friends of the savages. If we treat them ill, or kill them, their relations will come over, mayhap in swarms, and drive us into the sea. I drop the Swinton law of might being right, and ask you who are now the law-makers -- which is it to be -- kindness or cruelty?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
