_Cloth, 12mo._
This is a stirring story of the sea somewhat suggestive in manner of Jack
London's work. It has to do with two brothers of a sea-going family who go
on a cruise with the hope of ultimately finding their older brother, Mark,
who was lost on his last voyage. The adventures which they have on a
mid-sea island, where Mark, pagan, pirate, pearl-hunter, is found, are
absorbing. Hidden treasure, mutinies, tropic love, all these are here. The
book thrills with its incident and arouses admiration for its splendid
character portrayal.
