rd a derelict galleon, whence they

romance."--_Spectator._

S. BARING-GOULD

Grettir the Outlaw: A Story of Iceland in the days of the Vikings. With
6 page Illustrations by M. ZENO DIEMER. 3s.

A narrative of adventure of the most romantic kind. No boy will
be able to withstand the magic of such scenes as the fight of
Grettir with the twelve bearserks, the wrestle with Karr the Old
in the chamber of the dead, the combat with the spirit of Glam
the thrall, and the defence of the dying Grettir by his younger
brother.

"Has a freshness, a freedom, a sense of sun and wind and the
open air, which make it irresistible."--_National Observer._

C. J. CUTCLIFFE HYNE

The Captured Cruiser: or, Two Years from Land. With 6 page Illustrations
by F. BRANGWYN. 3s. 6d.

The central incidents deal with the capture, during the war
between Chili and Peru, of an armed cruiser. The heroes and
their companions break from prison in Valparaiso, board this
warship in the night, overpower the watch, escape to sea under
the fire of the forts, and finally, after marvellous adventures,
lose the cruiser among the icebergs near Cape Horn.

"The two lads and the two skippers are admirably drawn. Mr.
Hyne has now secured a position in the first rank of writers
of fiction for boys."--_Spectator._

-- Stimson's Reef: With 4 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY. 2s. 6d.

This is the extended log of a cutter which sailed from the Clyde
to the Amazon in search of a gold reef. It relates how they
discovered the buccaneer's treasure in the Spanish Main, fought
the Indians, turned aside the river Jamary by blasting, and so
laid bare the gold of _Stimson's Reef_.

"Few stories come within hailing distance of Stimson's Reef
in startling incidents and hairbreadth 'scapes. It may almost
vie with Mr. R. L. Stevenson's _Treasure
Island_."--_Guardian._
