Truly a charming book! Full of the profoundest interest, yet not one improbable incident—not one prurient idea. You will sooner find spots upon the leaves of the silvery lily than an impure sentence in a book by this author.—Buffalo Courier.
NA MOTU; OR, REEF ROVINGS IN THE SOUTH SEAS.
A Narrative of Adventures in the Hawaiian, Georgian, and Society Islands, with original illustrations.
BY EDWARD T. PERKINS
12mo. Cloth. $1 00
Na Motu is the quaint title of a handsome volume of voyage and adventure in the South Seas. Mr. Perkins, the author, a schoolmate of Ike Marvel, has spent several years before the mast, and on the salt water in other capacities, and his style is characterized by a straightforward, honest nonchalance and idiomatic flavor, redolent of Old Ocean from stem to stern. His daguerreotype of nautical dialogues is only a little too perfect, occasionally, for good taste; a large portion of his experience being gained on a whaling ship.—New York Church Jour.
