REEFER AND RIFLEMAN:
A Tale of the Two Services. By J. Percy Groves, late 27th Inniskillings, author of "From Cadet to Captain," &c. With 6 full-page Illustrations by John Schönberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3s. 6d.
A tale of the naval and military services in the early part of the present century. The hero enters the Royal Navy just after the rupture of the Peace of Amiens. After a short but eventful career afloat, he returns home, and subsequently joins the sister service, being appointed to a second lieutenancy in the old 95th Rifles. The ex-"reefer" takes an active part in the opening scenes of the Peninsular War, and meets with varied adventures in Portugal and Spain. After the battle of Coruña he once more returns to England. The story has an historical interest as well as a plot of exciting adventure, and a spice of humour which will commend it to the attention of lads who admire the stories of Captain Marryat.
