Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... AN OCEAN VOYAGE --I While Maud was spending her summer vacation in a small town not far from New York her two cousins, Robert and Rolo, came to make her a visit. It happened that Maud's papa and mamma had to go away for a few days to the city, and all the children were left in charge of their Aunt Alice and old Nora, the cook. At first everything went smoothly, but soon Aunt Alice was taken sick, and the children were left very much to themselves. Robert and Maud spent most of the time reading. They were both much interested in the story of Robinson Crusoe, which they had just read for the first time. Even little Rolo became excited over poor Robinson Crusoe and did not lose a word of the story. "How 1 should like to travel!" cried Maud. "If I were big, I would sail and sail, until I went around the whole world," said Robert.

"All rivers flow into the ocean. It says so in my geography," said Maud. "You can't drink the water in the ocean," cried Rolo, "because it's salt." "If we could only have a ship," said Maud, "perhaps we might find Robinson Crusoe's island. What a pity such an interesting island as that should be lost!" "Perhaps we might even find great lands, just as Christopher Columbus did," said Robert. "Oh, Robert! if you were only captain of a ship, what fun it would be!" cried Maud. "I know how to row, anyway," said Robert, proudly; "I have rowed once already." Just then Rolo caught sight of Tom, the cat, at the farthest end of the garden and ran to catch him. "Robert," said Maud, "it is very stupid staying here. Why could n't we hire a boat and sail to the...

Book Description
For centuries, men and women have manned lighthouses to ensure the safe passage of ships. It is a lonely job, and a thankless one for the most part. Until something goes wrong. Until a ship is in distress. In the 23rd century, this job has moved into outer space. A network of beacons allows ships to travel across the Milky Way at many times the speed of light. These beacons are built to be robust. They never break down. They never fail. At least, they aren't supposed to.
