MOTOR MATT'S SUBMARINE;
OR,
THE STRANGE CRUISE OF THE GRAMPUS .
By the author of MOTOR MATT.
Motor Matt , a lad who is at home with every variety of motor, and whose never-failing nerve serves to carry him through difficulties that would daunt any ordinary young fellow. Because of his daring as a racer with bicycle, motor-cycle and automobile he is known as Mile-a-minute Matt. Motor-boats, air ships and submarines come naturally in his line, and consequently he lives in an atmosphere of adventure in following up his hobby. Dick Ferral , a young sea dog from Canada, with all a sailor's superstitions, but in spite of all that a royal chum, ready to stand by the friend of his choice through thick and thin. Carl Pretzel , a cheerful and rollicking German boy, stout of frame as well as of heart, who is led by a fortunate accident to link his fortunes with those of Motor Matt. Captain Nemo, Jr., otherwise Archibald Townsend , a fast friend of the Motor Boys and skipper of the submarine, Grampus . Cassidy , mate of the Grampus . Gaines, Clackett and Speake , crew of the Grampus . Captain Jim Sixty , a seaman of long experience who resorts to filibustering in order to gain big prizes in the lottery of Fortune. Master of the wrecked brig, Dolphin . Ysabel Sixty , Captain Sixty's daughter, who plays an ignoble part, although against her better nature.
A STARTLING REPORT.
There is a speed limit for automobiles in the City of New Orleans, but a certain red touring car on this Wednesday morning gave little heed to the regulation. With two wheels in the air the car made a sharp turn into Prytania Street, slowed a little as it came within one of colliding with a two-wheeled milk wagon, swerved to one side and then leaped onward.
