Beneath the Sea: A Story of the Cornish Coast

iv, 421 pp. "Two adventurous boys and a no less adventurous Scotch collie. The three, sometimes accompanied by an old miner, make various explorations in an ancient tin mine in Cornwall, which had not been worked for centuries; they become imprisoned there, with the water from the sea rising about them; and after a fearful struggle they are saved by Grip, the Scotch collie, who escapes through a hole too small for a boy, and brings relief to the unfortunates." "George Manville Fenn (3 January 1831, Pimlico – 26 August 1909, Isleworth) was a prolific English novelist, journalist, editor and educationalist. Many of his novels were written for young adults. His final book was a biography of his fellow writer for juveniles, George Alfred Henty."
