STORIES FOR BOYS.
+THROUGH FIRE and THROUGH WATER. A Story of Adventure and Peril.+
By T. S. MILLINGTON, author of "Straight to the Mark," etc. With Sixteen
Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, 2s.
_The School Guardian_ says:--"To boys who like plenty in their
books and that of a decidedly stirring order, 'Through Fire and
Through Water' may be highly commended. Jack Smith's ambition to be
a sailor and how it was finally gratified notwithstanding the
obstacles that intervene, his capture by Algerian pirates, and his
subsequent rescue.... The story never flags for a moment; it goes
with a swing from start to finish."

+TAMATE: The Life and Adventures of a Christian Hero.+

No. 1. Large crown 8vo, Cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

already drawn up for his biography, but he has had access also to
letters and diaries hitherto unpublished, and from these vivid
pages we gain a clearer idea than ever of his hero. A lion-hearted
soul! The boy reader will find him irresistible."

By JEAN MARTEILHE. With Seven Illustrations by E. Barnard Lintott.
"Christian Heroes" Series, No. 2. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
_The Expository Times_ says:--"Let the boy who wants authentic
history and excitement combined read 'Condemned to the Galleys,' by
Jean Marteilhe."
_The Northern Whig_ says:--"It is a most interesting and reliable
work, giving a
