Publisher: John Day

Hal and Roger Hunt, those two intrepid brothers whose adventures in the Amazon, South Seas, etc. have previously been recorded, now embark on a Pacific whaling voyage. At the mercy of a brutal captain, a turbulent sea, and a host of ferocious sperm whales, the two teen-agers nevertheless survive the ordeal, acquitting themselves with their characteristic integrity. High adventure, less subtle than it is compelling, forms a vivid background for the wealth of data on the whale fishing industry. A cut above the typical boys' serial, Whale Adventure is prodigal in the information it imparts. More adventures to follow.
