Résumé Sur une île du Pacifique, deux naufragés sont rescapés par le James Cook qui fait voile vers l'Australie. Les deux frères Kip, d'origine hollandaise, constatent bientôt qu'une mutinerie se prépare et ils parviennent à la juguler non sans peine. Mais l'étau se resserre sur eux quand le chef des mutins accuse les deux frères du meurtre du capitaine. En dépit de leur innocence, ils sont incarcérés au pénitencier de Port-Arthur (en Tasmanie). Malgré les dures conditions de vie du bagne, ils entreprennent de planifier leur évasion afin de retrouver les assassins.

Pendant la saison d'hiver, les frères Melvill et leur nièce occupaient, à Glasgow, un vieil hôtel de West-George Street, dans le quartier aristocratique de la nouvelle ville, non loin de Blythswood Square. C'est là qu'ils demeuraient six mois de l'année, à moins qu'un caprice d'Helena, - à qui ils se soumettaient sans observation, - ne les entraînât en quelque déplacement de longue durée, du côté de l'Italie, de l'Espagne ou de la France. Au cours de ces voyages, ils continuaient à ne voir que par les yeux de la jeune fille, allant où il lui plaisait d'aller, s'arrêtant où il lui convenait de s'arrêter, n'admirant que ce qu'elle admirait. Puis, lorsque miss Campbell avait fermé l'album sur lequel elle consignait, soit d'un trait de crayon, soit d'un trait de plume, ses impressions de voyageuse, ils reprenaient docilement le chemin du Royaume-Uni, et rentraient, non sans quelque satisfaction, dans la confortable habitation de West-George Street.

Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828 - March 24, 1905) was a French author who pioneered the science fictiongenre. He is best known for his novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travels before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the second most translated author in the world (after Agatha Christie). Some of his books have also been made into live-action and animated films and television shows. Verne is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction", a title sometimes shared with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells. -wikipedia

The first traveller of whom we have any account in history, is Hanno, who was sent by the Carthaginian senate to colonize some parts of the Western coast of Africa. The account of this expedition was written in the Carthaginian language and afterwards translated into Greek. It is known to us now by the name of the "Periplus of Hanno." At what period this explorer lived, historians are not agreed, but the most probable account assigns the date B.C. 505 to his exploration of the African coast.

Durante la guerra federale degli Stati Uniti, nella città di Baltimora, quindi nel bel mezzo del Maryland, si costituì un nuovo ed influentissimo club. È noto con quanta energia sviluppossi l¿istituto militare presso questo popolo d¿armatori, di mercanti e di meccanici. Molti negozianti spiccarono un salto al di là del loro banco per improvvisarsi capitani, colonnelli, generali, senza compiere gli studî nelle scuole d¿applicazione di West-Point; in breve essi uguagliarono «nell¿arte della guerra» i colleghi del vecchio continente, ed al pari di loro riportarono qualche vittoria in virtù dello spreco di palle da cannone, di milioni e d¿uomini. ..
