The Cruise of the Cormorant.' By A. Lee Knight. (Ward

and Downey.)—This tale of adventure continues the story of some

characters who have appeared in " The Rajah of Monkey Island."

This fact the author takes care to remind us of on the second page in a somewhat bald manner. The Cruise of the Cormorant describes

the search for treasure on Monkey Island, and the conflict which follows between an unprincipled German adventurer and the treasure-seekers. There is a fair amount of " go " in the story, and no horrors, so that wo may safely recommend it to the youthful reader.
