The Adventurous Voyage of the Polly,' and other Stories. By

S. Whitchurch Sadler, R.N. (S.P.C.K.)—We have hero four capital stories, first published some years ago in the Boys' Own Paper, and now very properly reprinted. The heroes hunt for slavers and pirates, or struggle with mutineers, or contend against storms ; in fact, go through, and of course come triumphantly out of, divers adventures by field and flood. The writer evidently knows tropical and equatorial seas and shores, and describes them vividly.
