M. PAGET. 12mo,
cloth, price $1.00.

A frank, manly lad and his cousin are rivals in the heirship of a
considerable property. The former falls into a trap laid by the
latter, and while under a false accusation of theft foolishly leaves
England for America. He works his passage before the mast, joins a
small band of hunters, crosses a tract of country infested with
Indians to the Californian gold diggings, and is successful both as
digger and trader.

"Mr. Henty is careful to mingle instruction with entertainment;
and the humorous touches, especially in the sketch of John Holl,
the Westminster dustman, Dickens himself could hardly have
excelled."--_Christian Leader._

scenes of adventure--is its honest effort to do justice to the
patriotism of the Afghan people."--_Daily News._

The scene of this tale is laid on an island in the Malay Archipelago.
Philip Garland, a young animal collector and trainer, of New York,
sets sail for Eastern seas in quest of a new stock of living

Garland, the sole survivor of the disaster, is cast ashore on a small
island, and captured by the apes that overrun the place. The lad

and vicious baboon, whom he identifies as Goliah, an animal at one
time in his possession and with whose instruction he had been
especially diligent. The brute recognizes him, and with a kind of

which shows how astonishing is monkey recollection. Very novel indeed
