Cloth, $1.50. 
" This is the boys' favorite author, and of the many books Mr. Fenn has written 
for them this will please them the best. While it will not come under the head of 
sensational, it is yet full of life and of t.iose stirring adventures which boys always de- 
light in." Christian at Work. 
" English pluck and Swiss coolness are tested to the utmost in these perilous ex- 
plorations among the higher Alps, and quite as thrilling as any of the narrow escapes 
is the account of the first breathless ascent of a real mountain-peak. It matters little to 
the reader whether the search for crystals is rewarded or not, so concerned does he be 
come for the fate of the hunters." Literary World.

I2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 
" Who among the young story-reading public will not rejoice at the sight of the old 
combination, so often proved admirable a story by Manville Fenn, illustrated by 
Gordon Browne? The story, too, is one of the good old sort, full of life and vigor, 
breeziness and fun. It begins well and goes on better, and from the time Syd joins 
his ship, exciting incidents follow each other in such rapid and brilliant succession that 
nothing short of absolute compulsion wouhi induce the reader to lay it down. " London 
Journal of Education.
