The Story of Duciehurst: A Tale of the Mississippi
Craddock, Charles Egbert
Mississippi River -- Fiction
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this
vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a large
sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind of tale as
its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is pronounced
even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes and types of
people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships and those who
live in ships. In addition to the adventure element, of which there is
an abundance of the usual London kind, a most satisfying kind it is,
too, there is a thread of romance involving a wealthy, tired young man
who takes the trip on the _Elsinore_, and the captain’s daughter. The
play of incident, on the one hand the ship’s amazing crew and on the
other the lovers, gives a story in which the interest never lags and
which demonstrates anew what a master of his art Mr. London is.

NEW MACMILLAN FICTION
The Three Sisters
By MAY SINCLAIR, Author of “The Divine Fire,” “The Return of the
Prodigal,” etc.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Every reader of _The Divine Fire_, in fact every reader of any of
Miss Sinclair’s books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for
her character work. _The Three Sisters_ reveals her at her best. It
is a story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome
analyses but by means of a series of dramatic incidents. The
sisters of the title represent three distinct types of womankind.
In their reaction under certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not
only telling a story of tremendous interest but she is really
showing a cross section of life.
The Rise of Jennie Cushing
By MARY S. WATTS, Author of “Nathan Burke,” “Van Cleve,” etc.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
In _Nathan Burke_ Mrs. Watts told with great power the story of a
man. In this, her new book, she does much the same thing for a
woman. Jennie Cushing is an exceedingly interesting character,
perhaps the most interesting of any that Mrs. Watts has yet given
us. The novel is her life and little else, but that is a life
filled with a variety of experiences and touching closely many
different strata of humankind. Throughout it all, from the days
when as a thirteen-year-old, homeless, friendless waif, Jennie is
sent to a reformatory, to the days when her beauty is the
inspiration of a successful painter, there is in the narrative an
appeal to the emotions, to the sympathy, to the affections, that
cannot be gainsaid.
