_Postscript 1._--Of the Yankee hell-ship _Silas K. Higgins_ no more was heard, and as time went by she was at last posted on the black list of missing ships. Who can say what her real end was? Did she fall a victim to the terrible Cape Horn surges, or was it that word which the bosun spelt with a big M which caused her disappearance from the great ocean highway? The deep sea hid her and the deep sea does not blab. _Postscript 2._--Notwithstanding Bill Benson's statement as to the sailing qualities of his little gunboat, she proved to be no match for the Black Adder, and years of desperate doings intervened before Dago Charlie was at last brought to book for his many misdeeds. _Printed by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury._ Trancribers Note: Original spelling has been retained.

By BASIL LUBBOCK. _A Cheap Edition._ _With Illustrations._ _Crown 8vo. 6s._ "Mr. Basil Lubbock has written a book that Clark Russell could hardly have given us in his palmiest days.... Not the least remarkable feature of this fascinating 'yarn' is its obvious truthfulness. Who takes up Mr. Lubbock's tale of the sea, and puts it down before finishing it, must be a dull individual."--_Sunday Special._ "We can most unhesitatingly recommend this book to all who love the sea, and especially to youngsters who intend to become sailors.... One of the best books of actual life on board ship that has been published for years."--_Field._ "No book that I know of has appeared since the days of Dana so absolutely compounded of marine elements, so entirely salt in savour, as Mr. A. Basil Lubbock's 'Round the Horn before the Mast.' Nothing, I am sure, could exceed the thrilling interest of Mr. Lubbock's description of how they weathered the Horn. But the whole book, which is well illustrated with original drawings and fine photographs, is full of fascination."--_Westminster Gazette._ "We have seldom read a more entertaining book.... The veriest landsman cannot fail to be charmed with Mr. Lubbock's simple graphic story and its faithful picture of the deep-sea mariner's life."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "Here is a stirring narrative, a thing to quicken the pulses and fire young blood with a healthy spirit of emulation."--_Athenæum._ "... The tragic incidents of this voyage Mr. Lubbock describes with a verve, vigour, and vividness that keep you breathlessly interested."--_Truth._ "A vivid narrative, in which you may hear the thunder of the waves and the creaking of the timbers, and through which blows the salt wind of the sea."--_Spectator._ "A capital tale of the sea."--_Standard._ "... A delightful book.... The very thing to put into the hands of any youth who thinks that he would like to go to sea."--_World._
