About this book
The book is Dick Sand; or, a Captain at Fifteen, by Jules Verne. Dick Sand is remarked, as a cabin-boy on board a merchant vessel, by Captain Hull, who forms a friendship with this honest young boy and makes him known to the ship-owner, James W. Weldon. The text says Dick Sand showed a particular liking for geography, for voyages.
The text speaks of how terrible were those words just pronounced by Dick Sand, Africa! Equatorial Africa! Africa of slave-traders and slaves! The text says the point now was to anticipate Negoro, and that all Dick Sand's projects must tend toward that end. Dick Sand is putting in practise the plan which he had long contemplated, of gaining the coast by utilizing the current of a river.
