Facing the Flag by Jules Verne
[Redactor’s Note: Facing the Flag {number V044 in the T&M listing of Verne’s works} is an anonymous translation of Face au drapeau (1896) first published in the U.S. by F. Tennyson Neely in 1897, and later (circa 1903) republished from the same plates by Hurst and F.M. Lupton (Federal Book Co.). Two apparent errors, which occur also in the french editions, have been made: the replacement of “Sivan” by “Swan” and of “Roandoke” by “Roanoke”. This is a different translation from the one published by Sampson & Low in England entitled For the Flag (1897) translated by Mrs. Cashel Hoey.]
