The narrative of how the indomitable pluck and perseverance of Ingomar Vang, the young Norwegian inventor and whaler, enabled him to triumph against heavy odds will stir the blood in every boy's veins. The tragic fate of Prebensen, the rich, cruel and selfish oppressor of everyone in the little northern whaling village, is pictured with much dramatic force. A healthy, honest, manly tone pervades this story of a young man's trials and final successes. The illustrations are in Mr. Taylor's best style, full of character and color, and faultlessly drawn.
