drought to Bay" by E. R. Roe
Estes & Lauriat, 299-3O5 Washington
street, Boston, publishers.-A very
pleasant story, well told. Ginia Rose
the heroine, a pretty Spanish girl intro
duced to a plain Western family in
novel way, is abducted by her father, the
Captain of a pirate band on the Missis-
sippi. about 1911. She is taken to New
Orleans and committed to nun, and Il
subsequently removed to ST. Louis
En- route she meets Captain Sinclair, who
is enamored at first sight. His aGven-
lures are thrilling, but after being cap
tured by Indians and marvelously res
cued he finds the object of his love con
cealed by the nun in ST. Louis, where
the pirate father is in prison, and where
"Ginia" for the first time is informed OF
her parentage. She acts nobly, marrie'
Sinclair and receives the blessing of hel
father and Sister Naomi.
The author gives a graphic account OF
that remarkable earthquake in and about

naturalist The charater of Elder Ha-
ven, the Methodist preacher, is worthy
of mention. His arduous labors, self

characters to life. The tragical end O
the pirate, the resulting happiness O
hero and heroine, the touching farewell
to Western friends, the removal to Ha-
vana. the inheritance of vast FORTUNE
from De Ulloa, all combine to make
glad conclusion.
