About this book
Breaking Away, or The Fortunes of a Student, is by Oliver Optic, with an illustrator named Kilburn. The narrator says a splendid sail-boat floated on the lake before the house on his next birthday, and that Jerry said it had been built for him. The narrator says of one man that he took no notice of him, avoided him, and seemed hardly to be conscious of his existence, yet was not a hard man in the common sense of the word.
The narrator says neither his uncle nor his silent satellites ever expressed a fear that he might be drowned in his voyages in night and storm on the lake. All the boats were hauled into an inlet, where they could not be seen by any passing craft on the lake, and the speaker felt that everything was safe. The students stretch themselves on the tents, and very likely some of them go to sleep, for it is two o'clock in the morning and most of them are tired out.
