=The Cruise of the “Cachalot” Round the World After Sperm Whales.= By
FRANK T. BULLEN, First Mate. The volume includes a Letter to the Author
from RUDYARD KIPLING. NINTH IMPRESSION. With 8 Illustrations and a Chart.
Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.
_TIMES._—“Mr. Bullen has a splendid subject, and be handles it
with the pen of a master.... ‘The Cruise of the _Cachalot_’ is
a book which cannot but fascinate all lovers of the sea, and
all who can appreciate a masterly presentation of its wonder
and its mystery, its terrors and its trials, its humours and
its tragedies.”
_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.”
=The Log of a Sea-Waif.= Being Recollections of the First Four Years of
my Sea Life. THIRD IMPRESSION. With 8 Full-page Illustrations specially
drawn by ARTHUR TWIDLE. Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.
_WORLD._—“We have read many stories of sea life, but do not
remember 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.”
_TIMES._—“Full of thrilling adventure, admirably told.... We
must leave Mr. Bullen’s touching story of his early struggles
and adventures to speak for itself. His descriptive powers are
great, his literary imagination is vivid, and he finds abundant
opportunities for the display of both.”
