COLLINGWOOD, Harry

COLLINGWOOD, Harry
   Pseudonym of UK writer William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (1851-1922), most of whose fiction was for boys and featured nautical settings. He remains best known for his "Flying Fish" sequence of sf tales: The Log of the "Flying Fish": A Story of Aerial and Submarine Peril and Adventure (1887), With Airship and Submarine (1907) and The Cruise of the "Flying Fish": The Air-Ship-Submarine (1924). The eponymous vehicle is a ship which operates in the air, on the surface and UNDER THE SEA, and which takes the tales' protagonists back and forth across the Earth, leading them to a LOST WORLD, to inner Africa and elsewhere. The third volume, in which a dreadnought successor to the ship fails to be built in time to affect WWI, is anticlimactic. Other HC tales include Geoffrey Harrington's Adventures (1907), Harry Escombe: A Tale of Adventure in Peru (1910) and A Pair of Adventurers in Search of El Dorado (1915; vt In Search of El Dorado 1925).
