Narratives of Wreck and Rescue. With 4 full-page Illustrations by FRANK
FELLER. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._
While no attempt is made in "Stories of the Sea" to paint the
sailor's life in glowing colours, or invest it with a glamour of
romance, the narratives selected are full of such thrilling incidents
of peril, suffering, and shipwreck, as are always deeply interesting
to the young reader.
"Next to an original sea-tale of sustained interest come
well-sketched collections of maritime disaster and suffering which
awaken the sympathies by the realism of fact. 'Stories of the Sea,'
are a very good specimen of the kind, and some of the chapters
which are pleasantly written are altogether fresh to us."--_The
Times._
"Many boys will appreciate this book, as the adventures of
impossible boy pirates are not equal in interest to much of the
simple truth here told."--_Athenaeum._
