“The two lads and the two skippers are admirably drawn. Mr. Hyne has now secured a position in the first rank of writers of fiction for boys.”—_Spectator_. —Stimson’s Reef: With 4 Page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY. 2_s._ 6_d._ This is the extended log of a cutter which sailed from the Clyde to the Amazon in search of a gold reef. It relates how they discovered the buccaneer’s treasure in the Spanish Main, fought the Indians, turned aside the river Jamary by blasting, and so laid bare the gold of _Stimson’s Reef_. “Few stories come within hailing distance of _Stimson’s Reef_ in startling incidents and hairbreadth ’scapes. It may almost vie with Mr. R. L. Stevenson’s _Treasure Island_.”—_Guardian_. [Illustration: _From IN THE GRIP OF THE MULLAH_ BY CAPT. F. S.

WOOD. 5_s._ “A tale of the Great Mutiny which should stir a boy’s blood, and will tell him all he cares to know of that memorable death-struggle for our supremacy....

A. J. CHURCH Two Thousand Years Ago. Illustrated. 3_s._ 6_d._ _New Edition._ Lucius Marius, a Roman boy, has a very chequered career, being now a captive in the hands of Spartacus, again an officer on board a vessel detailed for the suppression of the pirates, and anon a captive once more on a pirate ship. He escapes to Tarsus, is taken prisoner in the war with Mithridates, and detained in Pontus for a number of years. “Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman scenes and characters.”—_Times_. OLIPHANT SMEATON A Mystery of the Pacific.
