This novel is a record of adventure in the Eastern seas, full of strange incidents and dangers, exciting profound interest. There is good descriptive work in the story, and it well repays perusal for the pictures of the life and scenery of the ocean. There is a story in it which grips attention at the start, and never relaxes its hold upon the reader until the end. The author has made good in this work his right to be numbered among the popular authors who introduce us to new and captivating fields of action. The world is becoming so narrow and well-travelled that our best writers enlarge its borders by the aid of imagination, and this faculty is the secret of their charm.
