"Mr. Henty has never published a more readable, a
more carefully constructed, or a better written
story than this."--_Spectator._

his best. . . . The drawings possess the uncommon
merit of really illustrating the text."--_Saturday
Review._

"All boys will read this story with eager and
unflagging interest. The episodes are in Mr.
Henty's very best vein--graphic, exciting,

"In describing the brief, brilliant, most
