The Bale Marked Circle X
A Blockade Running Adventure
Illustrated by C. Chase Emerson. 12mo, red cloth, illustrated cover, $1.50.
Another of Mr. Eggleston's stirring books for youth. In it are told the adventures of three boy soldiers in the Confederate Service who are sent in a sloop on a secret voyage from Charleston to the Bahamas, conveying a strange bale of cotton which holds important documents. The boys pass through startling adventures: they run the blockade, suffer shipwreck, and finally reach their destination after the pluckiest kind of effort.
