Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...the place in her parents' absence. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson had taken the coachman and a pair of horses, and driven away to a neighboring town, intending to make a visit of several days. Carl, their son, was to care for Silverfoot; of course that was a man's work, and he was delighted. After his parents' departure, the first thing Carl did was to take out of the stall the dear gray pony with the pink rings and black spots about his eyes, and give him a good curry-combing, hissing through his teeth in imitation of the coachman, though why the fellow did it he couldn't exactly say. Once he had asked him, and the man answered: "Oh, to soothe the pony!" The boy decided to whitewash Silverfoot's stall; how pleased Father would be on his return, to see that he had been industrious, and that everything was clean and tidy. He felt sure that the pony would appreciate it too. So Carl tied the little creature to the post in the middle of the barn, and set gayly to work. He managed to get the white stuff all over his clothes, and on his head and face as well; but what a good time he was having! At last he had finished and made everything ready for Silverfoot--but when he went to look for him, lo and behold! the pony was nowhere to be seen. There was great excitement at Silverfoot's disappearance, for the children loved this clever pony. Carl thought he must have slipped his bridle and wandered off, or perhaps he had scuttled into the woods by the side of the stable. They looked for tracks, but there were so many hoof prints in the dust it was hard to tell if there were any fresh ones. They had looked well in the barn, but he was not there. Had he been stolen? Tramps were seldom seen in that neighborhood. The letter carrier was the only person...

Book Description
Excerpt from Bahama Bill: Mate of the Wrecking Sloop Sea-Horse The brig lay in four fathoms of water on the edge of the Great Bahama Bank. She had been a solid little vessel, built for the fruit trade, and she was about two hundred tons register. Her master had tried to sight the Isaacs, but owing to the darkness and the drift of the Gulf Stream, he had miscalculated his distance in trying for the New Providence channel. A nig ger-head, a sharp, projecting point of coral, had poked a hole about four feet in diameter through her bottom, and she had gone down before they could run her into the shoal water on the bank. Down to the graveyard of good ships, Key West, the message was hurried, and the wreckers of Florida Reef heard the news. A heavily built sloop of thirty tons, manned by ten Spongers and Conchs, started up the Florida channel and arrived upon the scene two days later.

Book Description
"Stunning pictures and engaging words. . . . An accomplished entrée to early science topics." — Booklist (starred review) Dive into the warm ocean and swim around amid the coral and waving sea grass. Do you see an eye like a small black bead peering out at you? Linger for a while and discover the secrets of the sea horse — one of the shyest fish in the sea. With a head like a horse, a tail like a monkey, and a pouch like a kangaroo, the sea horse acts like a chameleon, changing color to ward off danger or to show that he and his mate are a lifelong pair. Watch their fascinating mating dance, as the two of them twine their tails together and twirl, before she places her eggs in his pouch to be born. Could there be a more intriguing creature of the sea? Back matter includes an index, and a note about sea horses.
