In the last writing of Thompson, he solemnly affirmed his belief in a
"just and merciful God." To that divine justice and mercy let us, having
learned our own lesson from his life, leave him, judging not, lest we be
judged.
THE END
BOOKS BY FRANK T. BULLEN.
Deep-Sea Plunderings.
Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
Mr. Bullen, who has proved himself a past master of deep-water
literature, affords in these pages a series of brilliant and often
dramatic pictures of the sailor's life and adventures. While the
picturesque enters into his book, he deals also with the stern verities
of fo'c'sle life, and he brings before the reader strange and
bewildering phases of deep-water adventuring which will lay firm hold
upon the imagination.
The Apostles of the Southeast.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Bullen's characters are living ones, his scenes full of life and
realism, and there is not a page in the whole book which is not brimful
of deepest interest."--_Philadelphia Item._
The Log of a Sea-Waif.
Being Recollections of the First Four Years of my Sea Life.
Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"So strong, original, and thrilling as to hold captive the attention of
the mature as well as of the youthful reader."--_Philadelphia Public
Ledger._
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._
Idylls of the Sea.
12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"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._
BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY.
The Quiberon Touch.
A Romance of the Sea. With frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A story to make your pulse leap and your eyes glisten. It fairly glows
with color and throbs with movement."--_Philadelphia Item._
"This story has a real beauty; it breathes of the sea. Fenimore Cooper
would not be ashamed to own a disciple in the school of which he was
master in these descriptions of the tug of war as it was in the
eighteenth century between battle-ships under sail."--_New York Mail and
Express._
Commodore Paul Jones.
A new volume in the GREAT COMMANDER SERIES, edited by General James
Grant Wilson. With Photogravure Portrait and Maps. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50
net; postage, 11 cents additional.
"A thousand times more interesting than any of the so-called historical
romances that are now in vogue."--_Spirit of the Times._
