Pirate Gold. By J.It. Hutchinson. (C. Arthur Pearson. 2s. 6d.)

—The search for hidden treasure is a subject of which readers seem never to tire. No one knows how to tell a story of this kind better than Mr. Hutchinson, and here he is equal to himself. He keeps us in suspense as to the issue up to the last minute : who is to succeed—the Skipper or his adversary Derrick? Our readers will get no little entertainment in finding out this for themselves.
