The Whistling Buoy is a novel written by Charles Barnard and first published in 1887. The story is set in the late 19th century and revolves around a group of sailors who are stationed on a remote island off the coast of Maine. The island is home to a whistling buoy, a device that emits a loud whistle to warn ships of dangerous rocks and shoals in the area.The main character of the novel is a sailor named Ben, who is tasked with maintaining the whistling buoy. Ben is a hardworking and dedicated sailor, but he is also plagued by a sense of loneliness and isolation. He spends his days tending to the buoy and dreaming of a life beyond the island.As the story unfolds, Ben becomes involved in a series of adventures and encounters with other sailors and visitors to the island. He falls in love with a young woman named Nellie, who is visiting the island with her father. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Nellie's father is a wealthy businessman who disapproves of Ben's humble background.The Whistling Buoy is a classic tale of adventure, romance, and the struggle to overcome adversity. It is a vivid and engaging portrait of life on the high seas in the late 19th century, and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
