Hulda Hansen anxiously awaits the return of Ole Kemp, a cousin and her betrothed, and the best friend of her brother Joel. He has embarked on the fishing vessel Viking and promised her great fortune on his return. The Viking is expected to return soon, but when it doesn't, it is feared to have been lost. While this is going on, Hulda and her brother Joel also worry about their mother Dame Hansen, who hasn't been acting like herself ever since a visit from a man known as Sandgoist. A guest staying with the family is Sylvius Hogg, who is taken with Hulda's story and uses his position within the government to help out. One trace of the ship is found-a bottle that contains a note addressed to Hulda along with a single lottery ticket, numbered 9672. News of the tragedy and the hope of the possible riches of the lottery ticket spread around the countryside. Especially interested is the man Sandgoist. What fortunes await the Hansen family when the day of the lottery drawing arrives?
When the local paper writes about the legendary Green Ray's elevating effects on mind and soul, young Helena Campbell vows to experience it for herself at whatever cost. She postpones the wedding being forced upon her against her will, which does not bother her at all. Together with her uncles, Sam and Sib Melville, she sets off on what becomes a near-epic quest. Joining them in the search are two would-be suitors for Helena, one an artist, the other an amateur scientist. Together, they will voyage to a distant shore--and beyond--braving hurricanes, testing their patience and resolve, and ultimately finding their own true selves. Their numerous attempts are always unsuccessful, thwarted by clouds or boats blocking the sun, until finally the phenomenon is visible, but they are no longer watching the horizon. Some of Verne's original text has been restored to this work as have more than 45 of the original illustrations. Also contains 3 interviews of Jules Verne held at various points in his life.

This volume contains two Verne stories that share only one thing in common: they both feature water. They have been published together before but never with the added bonus short story. A Floating City is the story of a trans-Atlantic trip on a monstrous passenger vessel-larger than ever build in Verne's time-and features rekindled friendships, old enemies, a passenger who is certain the ship is doomed, storms, deaths at sea, a mysterious insane woman, Niagara Falls and a duel. The Blockade Runners is the tale of a small ship and her crew used to run the blockades meant to halt resupplying of cities and military forts during the U. S. Civil War. It tells of the perils they face and of their fate. Finally, a small treat in Verne's The Mutineers Of The Bounty. Based on the true story that reached France it recounts the tale of the mutineers and their Captain.
