Under the Rebel's Reign, a Story of Egyptian Revolt. By CHARLES NEUFELD, Author of "A Prisoner of the Khaleefa." With numerous Illustrations by Charles M. Sheldon. Large crown 8vo, fancy cloth boards, 6s. In the present volume Mr. Neufeld has attempted to give a picture of the exciting times during the Rebellion of Arabi Pasha. Starting from his University, the hero, George Helmar, goes out into the world to make a place in it for himself. From the commencement he meets with adventures: along the Danube and in Constantinople. He arrives in Alexandria just as Arabi's antagonism towards the Khedive has ripened into open revolt. He ultimately reaches Alexandria just after the bombardment, and gets engaged as interpreter to the British forces. He is taken prisoner whilst out on patrol, escapes, is recaptured, and finally escapes again in time to reach Tel-el-Kebir with important news which saves Cairo from destruction. The book is full of exciting and thrilling incidents and situations, many of which have been experienced by Mr. Neufeld himself. The White Stone. By H. C.
