He is so passionate about everything. This book is written in support of the Lifeboat Institution and is full of fact about that institution in the year 1881. It is supported by very reasonable supposition and parable. The descriptives are typical Ballantyne as he uses the English of his time. I've always loved that.

Excerpt: "Though our foe cannot be slain, he can, like the genii of Eastern story, be baffled. In the days of old, the Storm had it nearly all his own way. Hearts, indeed, were not less brave, but munitions of war were wanting. In this matter, as in everything else, the world is better off now than it was then. Our weapons are more perfect, our engines more formidable. We can now dash at our enemy in the very heart of his own terrible strongholds; fight him where even the boldest of the ancient Vikings did not dare to venture, and rescue the prey from the very jaws of death amid the scenes of its wildest revelry."
