This Is one of the best books of adven-
ture that has appeared In the last year
or so. The scenes are located in Roraima,
the mysterious mountain that lies between
tho boundaries OF Venezuela and British
Guiana. The summit of Rora.nla Is a
liable land. which. it is believed. has been
Isolated from all the rest of the world for
untold ages. 1t is the highest mountain in
all that part of South America. and the
inaccessible character of its summit has
been frequently commented upon. This IS
the basis for Mr.. Ausrey's fascinating
novel. and he places on the summit of Ro-
ra!ma the tradi, .1nni city OF Manoa, or Ell
Dorado. as the Spanish called 1t. He
peoples II with the last tribe of a power-
iul and conquering race. who were fully

and as powerful on their own ground as

Gus domain two young men Of British

hella, succeed in penetrating, after many
hardships and trials. They reach tho
country just as an tnternecnc war Is
ready TO break out and are IN time TO AID

par'iea ara placed In power.
The strange customs of the Inhabitants
OF Manoa are detailed in an interesting
