THE BUNGALOW BOYS.
The first of a new up-to-date series concerning the absorbing doings of Tom and Jack Dacre and their chums of Audubon Academy. The lure of the big woods and the call of the rod and gun are delightfully set forth in these volumes.
The first one deals with life in the wilder parts of Maine. Wild as the region into which the boys penetrate, accompanied by their professor, turns out to be, they find that there are bold, unscrupulous enemies even there. Nate Trulliber and his son Jeff prove to be formidable neighbors in more senses than one.
For instance the lost lead vein which is one of the objects of the boys' quest is associated in a strange way with this Trulliber and his evil companions. The plots of these men are, however, frustrated in a clever manner by the boys; but not without their involving themselves in grave difficulties. Danger too threatens them, as notably when Tom is imprisoned in the mountain cave with every prospect of being speedily drowned if help does not soon come. The source from which aid finally proceeds is as mysterious as the character of the lonely hermit who for a time is mistaken by the boys for an enemy. Not until the end of the book do they learn how utterly they were mistaken, in his character.
