"They have the roar and dash and swing of crashing breakers, the sharp
tang of the salt sea air, and at times they creak and strain like
a stout clipper ship in the roaring forties."--_Philadelphia North
American._
"They have the tang of salt spray, and the blue light of corpse
candles. Wassail and song echo through the lines, and the spirit
of youth that finds interest and excitement in bad and good alike.
Their lyric quality is true. Reckless and daring they are in
spirit."--_Baltimore Sun._

Our Hawaii
BY CHARMIAN K. LONDON
(MRS. JACK LONDON)
_$2.25_
This is a book which breathes the soul of Hawaii. Anyone lured by the
Pacific island as a playground will revel in its pages.
"Come tread with me a little space of Paradise," writes Mrs. London of
her Elysium in the Pacific. "Many pleasant acres have I trod hitherto,
but never an acre like this. With blue-depthed shadows imposed from
green-depthed foliage of great trees upon deep lawns that cushion
underfoot."
"In this journal I have tried to limn a picture of the charm of the
Hawaiian Islander as he was, and of his becoming, together with the
enchantment of his lofty isles and their abundant hospitality."

The Cruise of the Snark
BY JACK LONDON
_Decorated cloth, 8vo, $2.50_
One of the most adventurous voyages ever planned was that of Mr.
London's famous _Snark_, the little craft in which he and Mrs. London
set forth to sail around the world. Mr. London has told the story in a
fashion to bring out all the excitement of the cruise.
Those who have read Mrs. London's sparkling _Log of the Snark_ will
enjoy Mr. London's _Cruise of the Snark_ as well.
"Deserves an honourable place in the literature of travel and
adventure."--_Outlook._
The Log of the Snark
BY MRS. CHARMIAN K. LONDON
_Illustrated, $2.50_
"The daily pages written on shipboard or in the harbors of the Cannibal
islands sparkle with their adventures, for a woman's point of view
of native women is vastly more entertaining than a man's, and Mrs.
London writes with frankness that is both startling and picturesque.
Anyone lured by the South seas as a playground, or through devotion
to Stevenson's Samoa, will revel in this book, illustrated with
photographs made by the Londons and uncensored."--_Cleveland Leader._
