A COLONIAL FREE LANCE. BY
Chauncey C. Hotchkiss, author Of
I'm Defiance ofthe King" D. Apple
ton & Co.
The literary world knows Mr.. Hotch
much promise in him. promise fully
kept in this newest publication in ths |
Town and Country Library" series of
the Appletons a series that rarely dis |
appoints the seeker after entertaining
and wholesome fiction.
The present volume, like its predeces-
sor, has for it's historical basis the Amer
lean revolution, and the happenings are
even more strange and stirring than !
those chronicled in that first venture. |
This is mainly a story of the sea, and |
there is no end to the adventures relat !
ed. In some ways the deeds of strength |
and daring performed by Donald Thorn |
dyke, master of the Phantom, recall |
those of the great John Ridd in Lorna |
Doone.
1t is very captivating story.
