Description
Excerpt from Randy of the River: Or the Adventures of a Young Deckhand
The majority of stories for boys have their background laid either in the city or the country, or possible on the ocean, and we have read much about the doings of lads both rich and poor in such locations.
In the present tale we have a youth of sturdy qualities who elects to follow the calling of a deckhand on a Hudson River steamboat, doing his duty faithfully day by day, and trying to help others as well as himself. Like all other boys he is at times tempted to do wrong, but he has a heart of gold even though it is hidden by a some what ragged outer garment, and in the end proves the truth of that old saying that it pays to be honest, - not only in regard to others but also regarding one's self.
Life on a river steamboat is not so romantic as some young people may imagine. There is hard work and plenty of it, and the remuneration is not of the best. But Randy Thompson wanted work and took what was offered.
