Round the World in Seven Days by Herbert Strang, an English-language classic.
Round the World in Seven Days is a work by Herbert Strang.
From the opening pages: “Lieutenant George Underhill, commanding H.M. surveying ship _Albatross_, had an unpleasant shock when he turned out of his bunk at daybreak one morning. The barometer stood at 29.41'. For two or three days the vessel had encountered dirty weather, but there had been signs of improvement when he turned in, and it was decidedly disconcerting to find that the glass had fallen. His vessel was a small one, and he was a little uneasy at the prospect of being caught by a cyclone while in the imperfectly-charted waters of the Solomon Islands.”
