"Harper's Round Table, September 17, 1895" by Various is a periodical publication that likely emerged during the late 19th century. This collection features a variety of stories and articles aimed at younger readers, combining elements of education, adventure, and moral lessons. The subject matter encompasses narratives on ship voyages, scientific insights, and whimsical tales, appealing to the curiosity and imagination of children. The opening of this edition presents an exhilarating maritime adventure titled "A Cargo of Burning Coal," told from the perspective of an experienced shipmaster. He recounts a perilous journey aboard the bark "Raleigh", which is loaded with coal and bound for Australia. As the ship encounters tumultuous weather, spontaneous combustion ignites the coal in the hold, threatening the lives of the crew and leading to a dramatic struggle for survival. This gripping tale sets the tone for the types of stories found in the publication, blending excitement with themes of courage and resilience on the high seas.
