A tale of Newfoundland in the sixteenth century, and of the now extinct
Beothic Indians who lived there.
“An original and absorbing story. A dashing story with a historical
turn. There is no lack of excitement or action in it, all being
described in vigorous, striking style. To be sure, the ending is just
what is expected, but its strength lies in its naturalness, and this
applies to the whole story, which is never overdone; and this is
somewhat remarkable, for there are many scenes that could be easily
spoiled by a less skilful writer. A story of unusual interest.”--_Boston

Hemming, the Adventurer

“A remarkable interpretation of the nomadic war correspondent’s
life.”--_N. Y. Evening Post._
“Its ease of style, its rapidity, its interest from page to page, are
admirable; and it shows that inimitable power,--the story-teller’s gift
of verisimilitude. Its sureness and clearness are excellent, and its
portraiture clear and pleasing. It shows much strength and much mature
power. We should expect such a writer to be full of capital short
stories.”--_The Reader._
