The Crew of the Water Wagtail is a classic adventure novel written by R.M. Ballantyne. The story follows the adventures of a group of young sailors who set out on a voyage to explore the South Seas on board the Water Wagtail, a small but sturdy sailing vessel. Led by their captain, Tom Randolph, the crew faces a series of challenges and obstacles as they navigate through treacherous waters, battle fierce storms, and encounter dangerous wildlife.As they journey through the Pacific Ocean, the crew also learns about the cultures and traditions of the native peoples they encounter, including the Polynesians and the Maoris. Along the way, they make new friends and allies, but also face enemies who are determined to stop them from achieving their goals.The Crew of the Water Wagtail is a thrilling and action-packed adventure story that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is also a fascinating exploration of the natural world and the diverse cultures that inhabit it. With vivid descriptions of the sea and its inhabitants, as well as the sights and sounds of the islands they visit, this book is sure to transport readers to a world of excitement and wonder.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.
