ing prize competing story in our next
Sunday Magazine. and, of course, there
fore. all our readers know it is a good
one--this famous writer of sea tales never
turns out any other kind. In this Mr..
Robertson has combined his two favorite
themes. the sea and psychology; in other
words. he has put together a capital psy-
Geological sea story which is q really
serious competitor for one of the awards.
THE Inhibition" Qts title) deals with
the strange magnetic attraction of a boy
and girl. and later on. man and a
woman. for each other. Neither realized
definitely that this was the great human
passion; but each went their separate
way, the girl with her uncle at sea, and
the boy before the mast. The latter final
ly became first officer on a large craft,
which was wrecked. while she and her
uncle were cruising some hundreds of
miles away. The story is rounded out in
wonderful climax, which turned what
seemed hopeless despair into great joy.
