“A poetic drama of some merit. If certain passages with too modern a ring, which make his Pharaoh seem almost a President Wilson in Egyptian robes, were brought into harmony with the tone of the period, the play might have a success in representation.”

An Australian story for young people. Mel is a fourteen year old girl, Ned is her brother, and Jim Stanley is their chum. The three are expert in all outdoor sports, including surf riding, and Mel holds her own with the boys. The story opens on Ned’s birthday, with a hydroplane for a birthday gift. A few days later war is declared and the new hydroplane plays an important part. Altho the war-time plot is the now familiar one, involving the capture of German spies, the story has an added interest in its descriptions of Australian sports.
“Up-to-date boys and girls will revel in this wholesome book, and, unless we are mistaken, grown-ups will not wholly pass it by.”
