TIE SECRET OF THE ISLAND By Jures Verne.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co., New York. From
Loring, Short & Harmon.
This is the third part of the series of The
Mysterious Island and completes the story of
the prisoners who escaped from Richmond in
the balloon. The mysteries were explained by
finding that Capt. Memo had taken refuge with
his wonderful submarine vessel, the Nautilus,
in submarine cavern under the island, whence
he had watched over and preserved them at
times of imminent peril. His crew had all
died, and at last he died also, bequeathing
them an immense treasure of precious Jewels
Then the Island blows up by volcanic convul-
sion; the voyagers are left clinging to a rock,
from which they are rescued at the last mo-
ment of life by Lord Glenaroon's steam yacht,
which has been sent to rescue the deserted
seamen, and they finally all found colony in
the state of Iowa.
