Sorties from Gib. By E. Dyne Fenton. (Tinsley.)—A number of

stories and sketches strung together by a somewhat loose tie, the fact of their having in one way or other come across the author's *bur.. vation or experience while he was in garrison at Gibraltar. They are lively enough, with here and there a little more of the Gil Nat tone about them than is quite desirable, but not really open to serious objection.
