THE HARVEST OF THE SEA

_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."

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_

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
