In the Great White Land: A Tale of the Antarctic Ocean. With 6
Illustrations by J. A. WALTON. 3s. 6d.
This is a most fascinating story from beginning to end. It is a
true picture of what daring healthful British men and boys can
do, written by an author whose name is a household word wherever
the English language is spoken. All is described with a master's
hand, and the plot is just such as boys love.
"The narrative goes with a swing and a dash from start to
finish."--_Public Opinion._

The Diamond Seekers: A Story of Adventure in South Africa. With 8
Illustrations by WILLIAM RAINEY, R.I. 6s.
The discovery of the plan of the diamond mine, the dangers
incurred in reaching the wild, remote spot in an armoured wagon,
and the many incidents of farm and veldt life, are vividly
described by an author who knows the country well.
"We have seldom seen a better story for boys."--_Guardian._
Capt. F. S. BRERETON, R.A.M.C.
One of the Fighting Scouts: A Tale of Guerrilla Warfare in South Africa.
With 8 Illustrations by STANLEY L. WOOD, and a Map. 5s.
This story deals with the guerrilla aspect of the Boer War, and
shows how George Ransome is compelled to leave his father's farm
and take service with the British. He is given the command of a
band of scouts as a reward for gallantry, and with these he
punishes certain rebels for a piece of rascality, and
successfully attacks Botha's commando. Thanks to his knowledge
of the veldt he is of signal service to his country, and even
outwits the redoubtable De Wet.
"Altogether an unusually good story."--_Yorkshire Post._
-- Under the Spangled Banner: A Tale of the Spanish-American War. With 8
