FAIR HARBOR. By Joseph C. Lincoln. (Appleton and Co. 7s.

6d. net.)—Captain Sears Kendrick returns home, his savings squandered, his leg broken. He is given the position of manager at Fair Harbor, an Institution for Mariners' Women, where, in the midst of irritation and bewilderment, he gradually falls in love. The situation suits Mr. Lincoln's capacity for broad humour, and he develops it skilfully by the method of plain narrative and extended dialogue.
