, once known, lay hold upon the imagination and will not let go." _Fifth Edition_ By DR. WILFRED T. GRENFELL THE HARVEST OF THE SEA 16 Illustrations, Cloth, $1.00 net. _New York Sun_: "Relates the life of the North Sea fisherman on the now famous Dogger Bank: the cruel apprenticeship, the bitter life, the gallant deeds of courage and of seamanship, the evils of drink, the work of the deep sea mission. These are real sea tales that will appeal to every one who cares for salt water, and are told admirably." _N. Y. Tribune_: "Dr. Grenfell tells, in fiction form, but with strict adherence to fact, how the mission to deep sea fishermen came to be founded among the fishing fleets that frequent the Dogger Bank that has figured prominently in the recent international complication. It is a story rich in adventure and eloquent of accomplishments for the betterment of the men." _Chicago Tribune_: "It is a plain unvarnished tale of the real life of the deep sea fishermen and of the efforts which Grenfell's mission makes to keep before their minds the words of Him who stilled the waters and who chose His bosom disciples from men such as they." _Brooklyn Eagle_: "A robust, inspiring book, making us better acquainted with a man of the right sort, doing a man's work." _Fifth Edition_ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NORMAN DUNCAN THE ADVENTURES OF BILLY TOPSAIL Illustrated.

"The Adventures of Billy Topsail" is a book to be chummy with. It is crowded with adventure, every page of it, from the time young Billy is nearly drowned by his dog, until in a big blizzard, lost on an ice-floe, he rescues Sir Archibald's son, and the old _Dictator_ weathers the gale. There is "something doing" every minute--something exciting and real and inspiring. The book is big enough and broad enough to make Billy Topsail a tried friend of every reader--just the sort of friend Archie found him to be. And Billy is good company. He is _not_ a prig; he
