Two Sailor - Lads. By Gordon Stables, M.D., R.N. (J. F. Shaw.)—

This is a capital story, in Dr. Stables's best style. It is about equally divided between adventures on the West Coast of Scotland and ad- ventures in the Southern Seas, the two parts being linked together by a chain of coincidences which are so convenient and pleasing, that it would be ungracious to inquire into their probability. The two young heroes, separated by adverse circumstances, meet on some remote island of the Antarctic Seas, work wonderful deliver- ances for others, and have deliverances equally wonderful worked for them. Comic Negroes are at hand to amuse, and there is not wanting a more serious element.
