the Author from RUDYARD KIPLING. TWELFTH IMPRESSION. With 8
Illustrations and a Chart. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
_The_ Rev. Dr. HORTON, _in his Sermon on behalf of the British and
Foreign Bible Society, referred to Mr. Bullen’s ‘Cruise of the
“Cachalot”’ in the following terms_:
‘It is a very remarkable book in every way; it seems to me worthy to
rank with some of the writings of Defoe. It has absolutely taken the
shine out of some of the romantic literature of such writers as even
Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling. By the strange law that truth is more
wonderful than fiction, this book is more wonderful than the wildest
dreams of the creator of imagination.’

to have been so fascinated and enthralled by any of them as by this
masterly presentation of the humours, hardships, and minor tragedies
of life in the forecastle.’
