The Island Treasure; or, Harry Darrel's Fortune. By FRANK H. CONVERSE.
12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
Harry Darrel, having received a nautical training on a school-ship, is
bent on going to sea. A runaway horse changes his prospects. Harry
saves Dr. Gregg from drowning and afterward becomes sailing-master of
a sloop yacht. Mr. Converse's stories possess a charm of their own
which is appreciated by lads who delight in good healthy tales that
smack of salt water.

price $1.00.
Guy Harris lived in a small city on the shore of one of the Great
Lakes. He is persuaded to go to sea, and gets a glimpse of the rough
side of life in a sailor's boarding house. He ships on a vessel and
for five months leads a hard life. The book will interest boys
generally on account of its graphic style. This is one of Castlemon's
most attractive stories.

by a stalwart trapper, a real rough diamond, our hero achieves the
most happy results.
