Time Armada Gold. By Edgar Turner and Reginald Hodder. (E.
Grant Richards. 6s.)—This is a frankly impossible story or adventure 'in the South Sea Islands. In the first chapter the. heroine, Mirra Trevellyan, is carried off to the island of Paloa, which is the stronghold of the mysterious " Areoi" priesthood. Here she is to be- sacrificed, after being kept in great state for- -three years, as the bride of the god Oro,--that is to say, she is to be thrown alive into the crater of a volcano. It need not be Raid that the hero, Lyall Gray, a gallant young naval officer, succeeds. after many adventures in rescuing bfirra. How Gray is helped by a friend who is in search of a hidden treasure in the same island, and what trials they all go through, must be found out for themselves by all those who care to read a series of stirring, if slightly ,melodramatic, adventures.
