Michael Scott 



TOM CRINGLE'S LOG. The author of these moving adventures was 

 a University man who went to Jamaica and the West Indies as a planter. 

 By his keen observation he collected the materials that he used in this 

 sprightly book. The book is packed with incident, the style is lively 

 and full of fire, so that this story has remained very popular ever since 

 its appearance in 1833. 



Jules Verne 



THE ABANDONED. This is the story of the mysterious island upon 

 which the castaways were " Dropped from the Clouds " and also the 

 story of a neighbouring island that proved even more of a mystery. On 

 this second island they find " The Abandoned," a man with a strange 

 history, which the story relates. 



ADRIFT IN THE PACIFIC. Just the book for boys ! A party of 

 school boys suddenly find themselves adrift on the mighty ocean. They 

 are wrecked on a lonely island. How do they fare ? What can they do ? 

 Read how they set up a little colony and governed it, how they hunted, 

 fished, explored and finally overcame some murderous mutineers thrown 

 ashore on the coast of their little island. 



AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS. Phineas Fogg, for 

 a wager, attempts to make a circuit of the earth in eighty days. It is a 

 case of whirlwind travel, and the story of the journey goes along with 

 a rush of excitement. Adventures crowd upon Phineas ashore and afloat, 

 enemies try to thwart him, accidents delay him, and he returns to London 

 just too late, and yet in time ! Therein lies a puzzle. 



THE CLIPPER OF THE CLOUDS. The most wonderful aero- 

 plane that ever navigated the air, and yet it was invented in Verne's 

 magical brain long before the first airman set his propeller whirling. 

 Captain Robur does what no airman can do to-day, and the story of this 

 world-wide voyage is one continuous thrill. 



THE CRYPTOGRAM. This was the secret document, written in a 

 difficult cypher, which proclaimed the innocence of Joam Dacosta, a 

 man condemned to death for a crime of which he was innocent. The 

 story of the trial and the unravelling of the "Cryptogram" at the last 

 moment makes an enthralling story.
