“Mr. Haines has written one of the best treatises on this bothersome and much-discussed problem which we have seen in recent years. His book is to be recommended to all who desire an unprejudiced view.”

Hains, Thornton Jenkins. [Voyage of the Arrow to the China seas: its adventures and perils, including its capture by sea vultures from the Countess of Warwick] as set down by William Gore, chief mate. $1.50. Page.
A tale of thrilling sea-adventure thru which runs the romance of the Arrow’s first mate and the captain’s niece. The reader is subjectively a part of the boat’s company, breathes the salt air, enjoys the rough, out-spoken ways of the captain, delights in the Irish grit of Larry O’Toole and enters into the thick of the fight with the convict pirates. There is swift action in the narrative, and many a strong dramatic climax.
“It is written with feeling and conviction, without gross negligence of truth, and with a swing and zest which should commend it particularly to young people.”

“That the author of this tale knows the ocean and the men who sail upon it is undeniable, and he writes with a zest reminding one of Mr Clark Russell, though he has not that novelist’s literary skill.”
