"Harper's Young People, November 1, 1881" by Various is a literary magazine for children published during the late 19th century.

At the start of this issue, the story "The Surprising Experience of Ben Buttles" introduces Ben as he bravely navigates a dangerous fishing trip in a small boat amid rising winds and waves. His elation at catching a large halibut swiftly turns to concern as he realizes the storm is escalating.

The narratives in this magazine promise not only thrilling adventures but also moral lessons about courage, family, and perseverance, making it a captivating read for young audiences.
