{"product_id":"2940013655409","title":"THE COMING WAVE","description":"PREFACE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"THE COMING WAVE\" is the fourth volume of the Yacht Club Series, and is\u003cbr\u003ean entirely independent story. Though the incidents are located on\u003cbr\u003ePenobscot Bay and relate largely to boats and yachting, the characters\u003cbr\u003ehave not before been presented; but some of them will again be\u003cbr\u003eintroduced in the subsequent volumes of the series. There is some breezy\u003cbr\u003esailing in the story, and Penobscot Bay would not be properly described\u003cbr\u003ewithout the dense fog, upon which the turn of events depends in one of\u003cbr\u003ethe chapters; nor is such a hurricane as that with which the story\u003cbr\u003ebegins an unknown occurrence in these waters. Whatever interest the\u003cbr\u003evolume may possess, however, does not wholly depend upon the experience\u003cbr\u003ein fog and gale of the hero and his friends, for the plot is as much of\u003cbr\u003ethe land as of the sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeopold Bennington and Stumpy are the chief characters. They are both\u003cbr\u003eworking boys, who earn their own living, and do nothing more surprising\u003cbr\u003ethan other young men have done before them. They are fastidiously\u003cbr\u003ehonest, and strictly upright, though they make mistakes like other human\u003cbr\u003ebeings. They try to do their whole duty, sometimes under very difficult\u003cbr\u003ecircumstances, and if other boys may not do exactly as they did in\u003cbr\u003ecertain cases, they may imitate Leopold and Stumpy in having a high\u003cbr\u003eaim, and in striving to reach it. If young people only mean well, they\u003cbr\u003ecan hardly fail to lead good and true lives, in spite of their errors of\u003cbr\u003ejudgment, or even their occasional failures to do right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     TOWERHOUSE, BOSTON,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     July 10, 1874.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                                         PAGE.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TEMPEST IN THE BAY,                    11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE LAST OF THE WALDO,                     30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHARVEY BARTH'S DIARY,                      48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTUMPY AND OTHERS,                         67\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHERR SCHLAGER,                             86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMISS SARAH LIVERAGE,                      105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER  VII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOMETHING ABOUT THE HIDDEN TREASURE,      123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VIII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY,                   142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IX.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOFFIN ROCK,                              160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER X.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDOUBTS AND DEBTS,                         178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIN THE FOG,                               197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAN EXTENSIVE ARRIVAL,                     216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE EXCURSION TO HIGH ROCK,               235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE FAIR THING,                           254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WALDO'S PASSENGER,                    273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGOLD AND BILLS,                           293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE FIRST OF JULY,                        313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVIII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE COMING WAVE,                          332","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183309504752,"sku":"2940013655409","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013655409_p0.jpg?v=1763584074","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013655409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
