The Cruise of the Cachalot, 



Round the World after Sperm Whales. By Frank T. Bullen, First Mate. Illustrated. i2mo. 

 Cloth, $1.50. 



Mr. Rudyard Kipling writes the author as follows : " It is immense— there is no other word. I've never 

 read anything that equals it in its deep sea wonder and mystery, nor do I think that any book before has so 

 completely covered the whole business of whale-fishing, and at the same time given such real and new sea 

 pictures. I congratulate you most heartily. It's a new world that you've opened the door to." 



" Mr. Bullen has given us an epic of whaling, and has presented it with that forcefulness and simplicity with 

 which the epic is associated. . . . The book is of the sea. The author describes some tremendous scenes. . . . 

 The book is real, authentic, a piAe of lite." — London Academy.
