Hornung, Ernest William. [Stingaree.] [†]$1.50. Scribner.
Stingaree, a one-time London clubman, now a robber in Australia, “sticks up” (Australian for hold up) mail coaches and banks in a manner both theatrical and gentlemanly. On one occasion he operates among a company of amateurs, forcing them to give a concert, and makes use of the occasion to introduce a girl with a beautiful voice to a prominent composer. He is afterward released from jail just in time to don evening clothes and hear this girl as a prima donna.
“Of no importance from the literary standpoint, the present volume yet contains ten very readable and ingeniously worked out stories.”

“The stories are all fluent, ingenious, and diverting, and will be found readable enough.”
