The translation begins:

"Chapter I
The Storm
It was the 9th of March, 1860, and 11 o'clock at night.
The sea and sky were as one, and the eye could peirce but a few fathoms into the gloom. Through the raging sea, over shich the waves broke with a livid light, a little ship was driving under almost bare poles."

The Boy Castaways

Translation from the original "Deux Ans de Vanance" copyrght 1935, by Celesta Hamer-Jackson; distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The Newspapers were under the impression that this was a lost Jules Verne story and that the readers were seeing it for the first time!
BUT in fact, this was published previously as Adrift in the Pacific (1889 Sampson Low & 1887 Geo Munro - A Two Years Vacation). Sampson Low published copies at least up til 1925!

The translation begins:

"During the night of March 9, 1860, the clouds were so blended with the sea as to give a very limited visibility off the shores of New Zealand. Over this rough sea, on which the unfuring waves cast a livid glare, a light ship, almost devoid of sail, was flying before the wind."

Chapter I
The Carrier Pigeon

This translation starts:

• "Trieste, the capital of Illyria, consists of two towns of widely dissimilar aspect. One of them -- Theresienstadt -- is modern and well-to-do and squarely built, along the shore of the bay from which the land it occupies has been reclaimed; the other is old and poor and irregular, straggling from the Corso, which divides it from its neighbor, up the slopes of the Karst, whose summit is crowned by the picturesque ditadel."
