_THE CONGO ROVERS:_

A Tale of the Slave Squadron. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD.
With 8 full-page Illustrations by J. SCHOeNBERG,
in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1.50.

The scene of this tale is laid on the west coast of Africa, and in the
lower reaches of the Congo; the characteristic scenery of the great
river being delineated with wonderful accuracy and completeness of
detail. The hero of the story--a midshipman on board one of the ships of
the slave squadron--after being effectually laughed out of his boyish
vanity, develops into a lad possessed of a large share of sound common
sense, the exercise of which enables him to render much valuable service
to his superior officers in unmasking a most daring and successful ruse
on the part of the slavers.

"Mr. Collingwood carries us off for another cruise
at sea, in _The Congo Rovers_, and boys will need
no pressing to join the daring crew, which seeks
adventures and meets with any number of
them."--_The Times._

"We can heartily recommend _The Congo Rovers_ as a
book that boys will be sure to read throughout
with pleasure, and with advantage, also, to their
morals and their imaginations."--_Academy._

John Humble, an orphan, is sent to sea with his Uncle Rolf, the captain

left behind at Portsmouth. He escapes to a Norwegian vessel, the _Thor_,
which is driven from her course in a voyage to Hammerfest, and wrecked
on a desolate shore. The survivors experience the miseries of a long
sojourn in the Arctic circle, but ultimately, with the aid of some
friendly but thievish Lapps, they succeed in making their way to a
reindeer station and so southward to Tornea and home
