This new volume by the author of
From Kingdom to Colony" will not be
extremely popular. for it does not move
along the lines of action that catch the
multitude. But there will be those who
will turn to find a resting hour. 1t Is a
story of the present day, the scenes of
which are laid in an American shipping
town. 1t has strong local color, and Is
rich i'll description of typical characters
of the New England coast. 1t is told
with charming simplicity, wholly natural
and enforced. There is no plot to speak
and the winds Of summer and the sun
shine is over it more than the shadow.
There are many elements of humor and
pathos. 1t reads more like real page
from life than like romance. The au-
thor has the power to suggest more than
is in the written word.
Readers will love Captain jack and
"Uncle Billy laugh at their many frol-
les together, and be moved to tears by
the touching sadness of their separation.
