About the author:Hesba Stretton was the pen name of Sarah Smith (1832 – 1911), an English writer of children's books. Smith was one of the most popular Evangelical writers of the 19th century, who used her "Christian principles as a protest against specific social evils in her children's books."[3] Her moral tales and semi-religious stories, chiefly for the young, were printed in huge numbers, especially as school and Sunday school prizes. She became a regular contributor to Household Words and All the Year Round under Charles Dickens's editorship, after her sister had successfully submitted a story of hers without her knowledge. Altogether she wrote more than 40 novels.This book published in 1876 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.

Captain Norcott talked Peter Blake into sailing on his ship, but Peter was concerned about the soundness of the vessel. After the launch it was determined not to be the real Dolphin ship and sailor’s lives were dependent upon a business owner whose only concern was to make money. This greediness resulted in many ships and crews being lost for the collection of their insurance, but how can restitution be made? What becomes of the women left behind? An important Bible verse is Isaiah 40:12—“Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?”

The crew of the Dolphin encounters countless dangers on the high seas! Venturing forth on a ship that may not be what it seems, the crew is assaulted by crushing waves and vicious winds. And yet greater trials of character may prove more difficult still. Through all the storms of life we are encouraged to see that God holds the very seas in the hollow of His mighty hand! Those who call upon Him will be heard!
