The White Islander. By Mary Hartwell Catherwood. (Fisher 411nwin.)—A slight

but not uninteresting story of the adven- tures of a young English fur-trader, the sole survivor of the attack on a trading-port on Lake Michigan by the Chippewa Indians in the last century. He is taken by a friendly chief to an island inhabited only by the chief, his grandmother, an 'orphan French girl, (" the White Islander "), and an English boy. The fur-trader and the White Islander fall in love with each other, leading to various complications, and ending in their ultimate escape from the Indians.
