misconduct, form a story abounding in adventure. Ashamed to return home, he enlists and is sent to South Africa, and is taken prisoner at an early stage. Escaping from Pretoria, he takes part in many battles and forms a member of the Ladysmith relief force. Warned by his early fall, he redeems his character and wins the Victoria Cross. _The Yorkshire Post_ says: 'It is a rattling good story, which will appeal strongly to boys.' _The English Churchman_ says: 'The story is full of interest for boys.' +WITH RIFLE AND KUKRI.+ By FREDERICK P. GIBBON, Author of 'Comrades Under Canvas,' 'The Disputed V.C.,' &c. With four coloured illustrations by J. FINNEMORE, R.I., and coloured title-page. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
