This book was originally marketed with this words: "A rare tale of
travel and Adventure. Thrilling experiences in distant lands, among
strange people. A book for boys, old and young."The description of
the book is no exaggeration. Paul Boyton (1848-1924) was clearly a
remarkable and fearless man and indeed had adventures that can only
be described as thrilling. He discovered and started working with a
rubber suit, similar to modern drysuits . It allowed the wearer to
float on his or her back, using a double-sided paddle to propel
themself, feet-forward. Eventually, he was to found the first
"amusement park" featuring performing sea lions and water chutes.
