sea-fight off Flores. By ROBERT LEIGHTON. With 8 page Illustrations by
WILLIAM RAINEY, R.I. 5_s._

telling. It presents an excellent picture of life in England, both on

=Olaf the Glorious.= By ROBERT LEIGHTON. With 8 page Illustrations by
RALPH PEACOCK, and a Map. 5_s._

Fisher-boy. By ROBERT LEIGHTON. With 8 page Illustrations by F.
BRANGWYN. 5_s._

Excellent in every respect, it contains every variety of incident. The
plot is very cleverly devised, and the types of the North Sea sailors
are capital.”--_The Times._
=The Pilots of Pomona=: A Story of the Orkney Islands. By ROBERT
LEIGHTON. Illustrated by JOHN LEIGHTON. 5_s._
“A story which is quite as good in its way as _Treasure Island_, and
is full of adventure of a stirring yet most natural kind. Although
it is primarily a boys’ book, it is a real godsend to the elderly
reader.”--_Glasgow Evening Times._

(1262-63). By ROBERT LEIGHTON. With 8 page Illustrations by A. PEARSE.

flags.”--_Schoolmaster._

work.”--_Review of Reviews._

uncle as to win him from his intensely selfish ways.”--_Guardian._
