“He has a bright, easy style, and, indeed, most of his adventures are so extraordinary as almost to verge on the brink of the incredible.  We can recommend the book as singularly readable from the first chapter to the last.”—­Saturday Review.

“This is a book such as the public seldom has the opportunity of reading; such, indeed, as a necessarily rare combination of circumstances can alone produce.  His volume will indeed amply repay perusal.”—­London Spectator.
