BOOKS BY FRANK T. BULLEN.
The Log of a Sea-Waif.
Being Recollections of the First Four Years of my Sea Life.
Illustrated. Uniform Edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The brilliant author of "The Cruise of the Cachalot" and "Idylls of
the Sea" presents in this new work the continuous story of the actual
experiences of his first four years at sea. In graphic and picturesque
phrases he has sketched the events of voyages to the West Indies, to
Bombay and the Coromandel coast, to Melbourne and Rangoon. Nothing
could be of more absorbing interest than this wonderfully vivid
account of foks'l humanity, and the adventures and strange sights and
experiences attendant upon deep-sea voyages. It is easy to see in this
book an English companion to our own "Two Years before the Mast."
Idylls of the Sea.
12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"The 'deep-sea wonder and mystery' which Kipling found in Frank T.
Bullen's 'Cruise of the Cachalot' is appreciable again in this literary
mate's new book, 'Idylls of the Sea.' We feel ourselves tossed with him
at the mercy of the weltering elements," etc.--_Philadelphia Record._
"Amplifies and intensifies the picture of the sea which Mr. Bullen
had already produced.... Calm, shipwreck, the surface and depths of
the sea, the monsters of the deep, superstitions and tales of the
sailors--all find a place in this strange and exciting book."--_Chicago
Times-Herald._
The Cruise of the Cachalot.
Round the World after Sperm Whales. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"It is immense--there is no other word. I've never read anything that
equals it in its deep-sea wonder and mystery, nor do I think that any
book before has so completely covered the whole business of whale
fishing, and, at the same time, given such real and new sea pictures. I
congratulate you most heartily. It's a new world you've opened the door
to."--_Rudyard Kipling._
"Written with racy freedom of literary expression and luxuriant
abundance of incident, so that 'The Cruise of the Cachalot' becomes a
story of fascinating vividness which thrills the reader and amuses him.
The volume is no less enthralling? than 'Two Years before the Mast,'
and higher praise can not be accorded to a story of the sea.... A book
of such extraordinary merit seldom comes to hand."--_Philadelphia
Press._
BOOKS BY CY WARMAN.
Snow on the Headlight.
A Story of the Great Burlington Strike. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"Mr. Warman holds a unique position among our tellers of tales, since
he alone is a practical railroad man, who knows the work, and has done
it, in all its details."--_New York Mail and Express._
"Plenty of close-range photographs, interior views, of the great
Burlington strike are to be found in Cy Warman's book."--_Philadelphia
Times._
