A Yachtsman's Holidays ; or, Cruising in the West Highlands.
By the " Governor." (Pickering.)—The author bad four yachts in suc- cession, and had, it would seem, the good-fortune to be well pleased with all of them. We can only wonder that he had the heart to part with any of them, such smart sailers and even so comfortable were they. Anyhow, ho interests his readers in his craft, and in the voyagings which he made by their help, giving us a very lively and graphic picture of life on, or rather, we should say, off the West Coast. Almost every one, now-a-days, has been some part at least of the way up to Stornoway, which is the Ultima 'Thule of yachtsmen, and will be glad to have his recollections refreshed. He may, even at the safe distance that there is between December and August, resolve that another year he will desert the monotonous comfort of the steamer for the adventure and freedom of the yacht. Ho could not have a more potent tempter than the " Governor."
