. THE CITY IN THE SEA. By H. de Vere
Stacpoole, (Hutchinson. 7s. 6d. net.)-7,-Mr. de. Vere Staepoole has abap. doned the tropics and betaken himself to the picturesque Isles of Greece. It is an original idea in the story of a treasure hat, to make the treasure consist of examples of Greek Art'of the finest period.. Connoisseurs, if they ever condescend to read fiction, will like the description of the ex4iiisite Aphrodite,- which is fished up from the bottom of the ocean, and will:rho-uro the hard fate which oauses the winged victoiy to be too broad for the hold of the ship and, therefore, to be recommitted to the waters of the Aegean: The coinciderke of two real submerged cities having been found last year, one in June off the island of Gerba, and the other in October in the Caspian Sea, proves the credibility of the author's inventions.
