--"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
