The Big Otter is a work by Robert Michael Ballantyne. Its subjects include Youth, Conduct of life, Voyages and travels.
From the opening pages: “My friend Lumley was particularly fond of warmth and of physical ease, yet he often expressed the opinion, with much emphasis, that there was nothing he enjoyed so much as a night in a snow-bed. Jack Lumley was my chum--a fine manly fellow with a vigorous will, a hardy frame, and a kindly heart. We had a natural leaning towards each other--a sort of undefinable sympathy--which inclined us to seek each other's company in a quiet unobtrusive way. We were neither of us demonstrative; we did not express regard for each other; we made no protestations of undying friendship, but we drew together, somehow, especially in our hunting expeditions which were numerous.”
