Ship and Shore Series by Edward Stratemeyer

Published by The Merriam Company
1. Last Cruise of the Spitfire; or, Luke Foster's Strange Voyage 1894
2. Reuben Stone's Discovery; or, The Young Miller of Torrent Bend 1895

Merriam published the first editions of these titles. I have not seen #1 with St. Paul noted on the title page. If this title page exists, it would predate the title page with Fifth Avenue noted.

Although Merriam advertised the third title in the series as being "in press". The last volume in this series was actually published by Lee and Shepard in 1900 ("True to Himself").
