Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys Book of Railways The last excursion upon which I had the Enjoyment of playing the part of guide to my readers took us, in thought at least, upon the sea. In the present volume I invite them to come back again to dry land and the railway, with a view to our studying together a little fur ther those principles and fascinating details of railway working whose fringe we just touched upon in the Boys' Book of Locomotives. My thanks are due to those readers of my first two books who have been good enough to write to me about them. And I should like to add that it is always a great pleasure to hear from readers, especially those who want to ask questions. I must, however, ask them to forgive me ii, in the exigencies of a fairly busy life, the answer be sometimes rather delayed.

Download or read book Long Look House written by Edward Abbott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long Look House: A Book for Boys and Girls Another of the sounds that reach Long Look comes from the freight yard of the great railway beyond both river and meadow. There, where the lay of the land gives a chance for it, the two tracks are split up into twenty or thereabouts, and there, by means of other tracks connecting with other roads that enter the city, freight trains are made up or broken up as the case may be. In the day time, when many noises are abroad in the air, and the railway is busiest with bringing passenger trains, there is little or no disturb ance from this source; but at night, when all the rest of the world is still, Max is sometimes awakened by the screeching locomotives and the heavy rumble of freight cars, sounding forth upon the empty air. He listens attentively to the whistles - one for down brakes, two for up brakes, three for take out the pin; and, as he listens, pictures to himself the train stepping, the train moving on, or the train breaking in two as it makes a running switch, until he gets tired of the noise beyond endurance, and falls asleep.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Railways Most middle-aged men of to-day can remember the time when their one boyish ambition was to be an engine-driver; but their sons found a rival interest in the flying machine and desired above all things to be airmen. Flying and flying machines, however, have not and cannot have so many interesting features as are to be found upon engines and trains, with the result that the interest has swung back to the railway, and most boys of to-day are as keen about them as ever their fathers were. It is for such boys that this book is intended more than anyone else, but it is hoped, nevertheless, that it may make an even wider appeal. The writer knows an uncle who regularly buys a certain boys' periodical. He buys it, of course, to give to his nephew, but his friends notice that he always reads it through himself first, and, although this book may be intended for the sons and nephews, it is quite possible that some fathers and uncles may find it to their liking. The writing of it has been a labour of love, and if all readers get the same pleasure in reading it which the writer got in writing it, it is going to add largely to the sum of human happiness.

Look where you will, you can see nothing but boys, boys, boys Eton breaks up today, and The holidays have begun is written on every face. Shouts of laughter, very indifferent jokes, extremely familiar and not always complimentary remarks to the porters, and about the few passengers who have not the privilege of being Etonians, are to be heard on all Sides. About three minutes before the train is to start, a tall footman appears on the platform. He is followed by an elderly lady's-maid, who holds in her arms an enormously fat black-and-tan terrier, which, being madly frightened, is struggling wildly for freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys' Book of Scouts As every boy knows, this great country of ours was in the beginning a very little country, occupy ing a narrow strip of land along the Atlantic Coast. The vast ocean washed against it, and across this ocean brave men, heroic, intrepid, and adventurous, had come, braving its perils, and had founded their little colonies along its wild rugged shore. These men were explorers - water scouts, they might be called - and their lives and deeds were marvels of prowess and adventure. But beyond this narrow strip of land lay an other wilderness, mysterious and unexplored, and as dark and perilous and trackless as the wild ocean to the eastward. The thirteen colonies, and later the little republic, lay between these two vast silent wastes; and men soon found that of the two the watery one was the easier to explore. At least, it was not so difficult to estimate its perils. There were storms and there were pirates; but at least there were no unknown sav ages, no wild beasts, no frowning mountains, or barren, wind-swept plains - no scorching sands.
