A TALE OF THE RED RIVER PLAINS.

+CHARLIE TO THE RESCUE+.

A TALE or THE SEA AND THE ROCKIES.

“In ‘Charlie to the Rescue’ Mr. Ballantyne supplies his constituency —­which is now a large and well-satisfied one—­with a sufficiency of battles, sieges, and escapes; the troubles of ranchmen, whose lives are threatened both by white and by black scoundrels, are admirably reproduced.  It is a capital story.”—­Spectator.

Or, THE LONELY MAN OF RAKATA.  A TALE OF THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO.

“A capital story, written in the author’s old style, and full of life and action from beginning to end.”—­Standard.

+BLUE LIGHTS+;

Or, HOT WORK IN THE SOUDAN.  A TALE OF SOLDIER LIFE IN SEVERAL OF ITS PHASES.

THE FUGITIVES;

Or, THE TYRANT QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

“There is plenty of adventure in the shape of imprisonment and combats with men and animals, and a negro and a sailor between them supply a comic element of the best quality.  Everything considered, this is one of the best stories even Mr. Ballantyne has published.”—­Academy.

RED ROONEY;

Or, THE LAST OF THE CREW.

THE ROVER OF THE ANDES.

A TALE OF ADVENTURE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

“We commend it to boys fond of adventure and of natural phenomena; a very fascinating book.”—­British Quarterly Review.

“An admirable boy’s story.”—­Scotsman.

THE YOUNG TRAWLER.

A STORY OF LIFE AND DEATH AND RESCUE IN THE NORTH SEA.

“Few men have laboured so steadfastly in their generation to provide sound wholesome fare for ‘our boys’ as Mr. Ballantyne, and the ’Young Trawler’ is worthy of his reputation.  It is not a whit less spirited than his former tales, and conveys a large amount of useful information on a highly important subject.”—­Academy.
