Demy 8vo. 1os. 6d. net.
"Worth a dozen of the ordinary memoirs with which the market is flooded. For it is a genuine 'human document,' a revelation of the thoughts and doings of a typical English sailorman during the most stirring years in our naval history. . . We have found the book delightful reading."—Spectator.
" .. Such excellent stuff, and in such racy, straightforward English.... Uncommonly good reading. It makes us think of some of Captain Marryat's pictures of what they did at sea in the brave days of old."—Standard.
ROUND ABOUT THE NORTH POLE. By
W. J. Gordon. With many Woodcuts and other Illustrations by EDWARD WHYMPER. Medium 8vo. 15s. net.
" The illustrations are excellent, and so are the maps. We do not know of any book covering so wide a range of exploration equally well. Not only is this volume full of attractive information, but also of stirring adventure, some stories of triumph, but more of failure and despair."—Sheffield Independent.
