About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Haste and Waste; The Young Pilot of Lake Champlain by Oliver Optic. Read in English by Scarlett Martin The sixth and last volume of the Woodville stories contains the record of a mechanical, rather than a moral triumph, though the virtues of patience and perseverance are incidentally illustrated, and the "little captain" of the Woodville is always a good son, a forbearing brother, and a kind friend. Lawry Wilford, the young pilot, is a boy of spirit and energy, who overcomes difficulties by a strong faith in himself, and redeems his family from poverty, in spite of the bad example and the bad conduct of his father and his older brother. Previous book in the series is Hope and Have; Fanny Grant Among the Indians. - Summary by Scarlett Martin from book preface Woodville Series: Rich and Humble; or, The Mission of Bertha Grant In School and Out; or, The Conquest of Richard Grant Watch and Wait; or, The Young Fugitives Work and Win; or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise Hope and Have; or, Fanny Grant Among the Indians Haste and Waste; or, The Young Pilot of Lake Champlain
