The Cruise Of The Flying-Fish — Harry Collingwood

The wonder ship that flies high in the air, skims the surface of the sea, and descends to its lowest depths. Its owners hide it under the waters of the English Channel until they need it for their next cruise. Their dismay when they discover it has been stolen, and their adventures in recovering it, make an exciting and absorbing story. This volume is a sequel to The Log of the Flying Fish. Harry Collingwood was the pseudonym of William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (1851-1922), a civil engineer who specialized in seas and harbors. "Atop Everest -- to North Pole and darkest Africa. Wonderful discoveries -- mammoths and unicorns and unknown tribes."-- Leon Gammell "The Flying Fish, that marvellous achievement of science, actually surpasses all Jules Verne's creations; with incredible speed she flies through the air, skims over the surface of the water, and darts along the ocean bed. We strongly recommend our schoolboy friends to possess themselves of her log." -- Athenaeum
