Young Tom Bowling. A Story of the Boys of the British Navy. By J.C. Hutcheson. Fully Illustrated by J.B. Greene. In large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, bevelled boards, price 5s.
"It is a spirited and adventurous tale about several brave boys of the British Navy, who, besides getting through a multitude of monkey tricks aboard a man-of-war, see some 'sarvice' in administering to the Arab slave-traders that correction which these inhuman monsters so richly deserve. The book has a number of excellent pictures."—Scotsman.
"As a sea-yarn, with plenty of rollicking fun, exciting adventure, and play of varied character, it should commend itself to all boy-readers. Mr. Hutcheson has skilfully contrived to give as a background to the story a very true and vivid and convincing description of the duties, occupations, and routine work of the boys of the British Navy, and it is this element in the book which gives it an importance beyond that of a mere story of adventure."—Daily Mail.
