Noteworthy Books by ARTHUR COLTON and what some authorities say of them.
The Belted Seas
A story of the wild voyages of the irrepressible Captain Buckingham in Southern seas. 12mo, $1.50
Evening Post: “A whimsical Odyssey.... What Jacobs has done for the British seaman, Colton has done for the Yankee sailor.”
Cincinnati Enquirer: “Never has the peculiar brand of humor which South America affords been more skilfully exploited than by Arthur Colton in The Belted Seas.... It is a joyous book, and he were a hardened reader indeed who would not chortle with satisfaction over Kid Sadler’s adventures at Portate.... Many of the stories are uproariously funny and recall Stockton at his best.”
