Excerpt from Frank Merriwell's Faith To one in whose veins runs the good red blood of youth, few things are prettier or more attractive than a boat's crew of strong, athletic, lithe-limbed university men speeding their cranky shell, their bodies bending, and the oars rising and falling with machinelike precision. Such was the sight beheld by Frank Merriwell, as he stood on the float and looked out across the shining water at the boat which was shooting toward him with splendid speed. The waves were dashing against and gurgling round the boat, and out where the boat sped they were running high enough to fling a jet of spray now and then over a rower. "The men are getting into fine form!" thought Merriwell, as he watched the work of the crew. "But they will need to do their best to beat Harvard this year! I fancy the race will be for blood." Reports of the training and skill of the Harvard crew were not lacking at Yale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
