Rowland, Henry Cottrell. Wanderers. [†]$1.50. Barnes.
The story of a young Irishman who, fearing that his father’s will has given his yacht to a brother, runs away with the coveted boat. He takes an artist friend with him, and later picks up an American professor’s daughter, with whom both young men fall in love, and her chaperone. After many and varied adventures, which include dueling and piracy, Brian legally acquires both the yacht and the girl.
“The style is simple but adequate, there is plenty of humor, and the book admirably fulfils its purpose.”

“A light, breezy tale of the sea, with less of storm and stress than is common to novels of a marine cast, but sufficiently spiced with adventure to keep the interest alive. Leaving numerous improbabilities out of mind, the book will serve well to while away a couple of hours.”
