The Mutiny of the Elsinore
By JACK LONDON, Author of "The Sea Wolf," "The Call of the Wild," etc.
With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this
vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a
large sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind of
tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is
pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes
and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships
and those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure element,
of which there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a most
satisfying kind it is, too, there is a thread of romance involving a
wealthy, tired young man who takes the trip on the _Elsinore_, and the
captain's daughter. The play of incident, on the one hand the ship's
amazing crew and on the other the lovers, gives a story in which the
interest never lags and which demonstrates anew what a master of his
art Mr. London is.
