A True Cornish Maid. By G. NORWAY. With 6 page Illustrations by J.
FINNEMORE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._
This is a story of the Cornish coast at a time when the press-gang
brought terror into all its seaports, and smuggling was an
everyday practice. The heroine of the tale is sister to a young
fellow who gets into trouble in landing a contraband cargo, and
shooting the officer in charge of the press-gang. In this
extremity she stands by her brother bravely, and by means of her
daring scheme he manages to escape. There is abundance of stirring
incident in this tale; the characters are all natural, and the
tone is altogether breezy and wholesome.
