UNIONVILLE RICHVALE CON CORD ket We've just finished the Lost Sea which we think can be placed be- side the great yarns of the sea and boyhood. At the time of the book, the Zuyder Zee was covered with fishing boats. Each crew had a secret member, the “sea mouse", and every Dutch boy dreamed of becoming one, especially for the most famous and mysterious cap- tain of all, the Black Skipper. The Lost Sea tells what happened when a young orphan boy was carried off by the Black Skipper, of the strange places he saw, a fierce sea battle, the epic carousing of his mates and the wonderful tales he heard from them. Here the fabulous and the real, the past and the present are so well merged that you will quick- ly forget and find adventure in the work of this writer.
