=The Castaways;= or, On the Florida Reefs. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo,

This tale smacks of the salt sea. From the moment that the Sea

whistle of the wind through her rigging, the creak of her
straining cordage as she heels to the leeward. The adventures of
Ben Clark, the hero of the story and Jake the cook, cannot fail
to charm the reader. As a writer for young people Mr. Otis is a
prime favorite.
