John Esquemeling accompanied Henry
Morgan and his pirates on all their voy-

is the only authentic record of those wild,
romantic adventures. In its eXpurgated
form it deserves to be placed beside Rob-

in every boy, and book like this. which
is true. can satisfy his longing for tales

Mr.. Esquemeling s story is particularly
timely now, as many exploits of the buc-
