=A Traitor's Escape.= A Story of the Attempt to Seize Benedict
Arnold. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price
$1.00.
"This is a tale with stirring scenes depicted in each chapter,
bringing clearly before the mind the glorious deeds of the early
settlers in this country. In an historical work dealing with this
country's past, no plot can hold the attention closer than this
one, which describes the attempt and partial success of Benedict
Arnold's escape to New York, where he remained as the guest of
Sir Henry Clinton. All those who actually figured in the arrest
of the traitor, as well as Gen. Washington, are included as
characters."--=Albany Union.=
=A Cruise with Paul Jones.= A Story of Naval Warfare in 1776.
By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"This story takes up that portion of Paul Jones' adventurous life
when he was hovering off the British coast, watching for an
opportunity to strike the enemy a blow. It deals more
particularly with his descent upon Whitehaven, the seizure of
Lady Selkirk's plate, and the famous battle with the Drake. The
boy who figures in the tale is one who was taken from a derelict
by Paul Jones shortly after this particular cruise was
begun."--=Chicago Inter-Ocean.=
=Corporal Lige's Recruit.= A Story of Crown Point and
Ticonderoga. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price
$1.00.
"In 'Corporal Lige's Recruit,' Mr. Otis tells the amusing story
of an old soldier, proud of his record, who had served the king
in '58, and who takes the lad, Isaac Rice, as his 'personal
recruit.' The lad acquits himself superbly. Col. Ethan Allen 'in
the name of God and the continental congress,' infuses much
martial spirit into the narrative, which will arouse the keenest
interest as it proceeds. Crown Point, Ticonderoga, Benedict
Arnold and numerous other famous historical names appear in this
dramatic tale."--=Boston Globe.=
=Morgan, the Jersey Spy.= A Story of the Siege of Yorktown in
1781. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"The two lads who are utilized by the author to emphasize the
details of the work done during that memorable time were real
boys who lived on the banks of the York river, and who aided the
Jersey spy in his dangerous occupation. In the guise of fishermen
the lads visit Yorktown, are suspected of being spies, and put
under arrest. Morgan risks his life to save them. The final
escape, the thrilling encounter with a squad of red coats, when
they are exposed equally to the bullets of friends and foes, told
in a masterly fashion, makes of this volume one of the most
entertaining books of the year."--=Inter-Ocean.=
