HOPE, Author of “Stories of Young Adventurers,” etc. “Mr. Hope throws himself instinctively into his most dramatic incidents from the boys point of view, and is humorous within the limits of their easy appreciation.

All manner of adventures at school, at home, and at sea, are narrated with equal vivacity and good sense.”—_Bookseller._ “There is great variety in this volume, ... and the heroes are not model characters, but real boys....
