Again the onlookers jumped from their

under the very benches on which they
were sitting. The voice was almost hu>

RECENT PUBLfC4TIONS.

Continued from Second pagc)
so Mr.. Babcock tells us in his preface,
a chance newspaper item anent certain
discoveries upon Wye island, which lies
just off Queen Annes county, Mary
land, suggested to his mind search of
the ruins said to be there. He could
not identify the site of the Tower of
Wye but he found enough to set his
fancy brooding upon the romance
which, written and completed, he gives
us In this book. Briefly, it is of the
wars between Claiborne and Lord Bal
timore, the time being about the year
1927. Wye Tower Mr.. Babcock supposes
to have been the stronghold of Clai-
borne's men, but many and various are
the adventures he ascribes to them be-
fore the tower is built and becomes
their refuge. Two Englishmen are sent
out by an English business firm to
Claiborne's new colony on Kent Island,
Chesapeake Bay. They meet with
many adventures. The story tells Of
their love episodes and trials and of the
tribulations and bloodshed brought
about by the quarrels between Clai-
borne and Lord Baltimore's men. The
legendary and semi mythical figure of
the lost Virginia Dare fits in and out of
the story with picturesque effect.
With fine artistic success the author
has caught the atmosphere of haze and
marvel through which the new Corners
to the. western world saw what &C.
Cured. The book opens with the voy-
age of the ship Tiger, which bears from
England a cargo of young women for
planters wives, and on board is Rich
ard Smith, into whose mouth the tale
is put. There Is a thrilling fight with
Turkish pirates in mid ocean. A storm
delivers the English ship from the p-
rates and Richard Smith, out of all the
men who were on board before the fight,
is the only man left on the Tiger with a
score of maidens; but he manages to
make the shores of Maryland after all.
The story is full of interest throughout.
