HUNTED THROUGH FIJI, or ’Twixt Convict and Cannibal. By Reginald Horsley, author of The Yellow God, The Blue Balloon, &c. With six Illustrations by J. Ayton Symington. 3/6
Dr Horsley is here at his best in following the fortunes of three young lads pursued by convicts and natives through Fiji in the cannibal days. The pages are crowded with adventures and hairbreadth escapes, sufficient to carry any reader from beginning to close without abatement of interest.
HOODIE. By Mrs Molesworth. With seventeen Illustrations by Lewis Baumer. 3/6
The story, very simply and naturally told, is of a rather naughty little girl who at first has a mistaken idea that she is out of favour with everybody, but who gets brought to a better mind by an illness. The little heroine displays great character.
THE ‘ROVER’S’ QUEST: a Story of Foam, Fire, and Fight. By Hugh St Leger, author of Sou’wester and Sword, &c. With six Illustrations by J. Ayton Symington. 3/6
A tough yarn, which relates how Noel Hamilton is picked up from a boat in the Channel by a passing merchant ship and carried into eastern seas, where he encounters all the horrors of a mutiny, a sea-quake, and shipwreck, his loneliness on a barren island being shared by two fine old salts named Sam Port and Eli Grouse. How they are rescued by the Rover, out on a strange quest, and how this quest is accomplished, form the thread of an interesting narrative of sea life.

‘A well-written, sensible piece of work, likely to please educated and thoughtful girls.’—The Globe.
‘The book is interesting as a dramatic representation of incidents both tragical and heroic.’—Inverness Courier.
‘The numerous characters in the story are vivid portraitures, the very humblest has nothing of the puppet in him or her, and the story from the first page to the last is highly interesting, realistic, and natural.’—Scotsman.
