--"I have read it through with interest. It is an excellent book for boys, full of vigour and romance." "The fierce struggles between the Bahima and the Arabs, with their Manyema allies, are told with a vigour and enthusiasm that will stir the heart of any boy.... When we add that Mr. Strang gives us a really graphic and thrilling impression of travel in the forests of Africa, and an almost living acquaintance with Arab and Negro, it is scarcely necessary to recommend it to boys as a delightful story of African adventure."--_Spectator_. Dr. GORDON STABLES, R.N. In the Great White Land: A Tale of the Antarctic Ocean. With 6 Illustrations by J. A. WALTON. 3_s._ 6_d._ This is a most fascinating story from beginning to end.

With 8 Illustrations by WILLIAM RAINEY, R.I. 6_s._ The discovery of the plan of the diamond mine, the dangers incurred in reaching the wild, remote spot in an armoured wagon, and the many incidents of farm and veldt life, are vividly described by an author who knows the country well. "We have seldom seen a better story for boys."--_Guardian_. FREDERICK HARRISON The Boys of Wynport College. With 6 Illustrations by HAROLD COPPING. 3_s._ _New Edition._ The hero and his chums differ as widely in character as in personal appearance. We have Patrick O'Flahertie, the good-natured Irish boy; Jack Brookes, the irrepressible humorist; Davie Jackson, the true-hearted little lad, on whose haps and mishaps the pl
