OUT OF GLOUCESTER With illustrations by M.J. BURNS and FRANK BRANGWYN 12mo, $1.50 "Mr. Connolly has a touch of gay humor in his narratives. He knows his sea and his sailors well. He understands how to bring dramatic power and effect into a story."--_Congregationalist_. "This new volume of six stories of ocean adventure will strengthen Mr. Connolly's reputation as the best delineator of the actual life of our New England deep-sea fishermen that has yet appeared."--Boston _Journal_. "His book gives graphic descriptions of life on board of a fisherman, and has the genuine salt-water flavor. Mr. Connolly knows just what he is writing about, from actual experience, as his book very plainly indicates, and as such it is a valuable addition to sea literature."--Gloucester _Times_. "That all the romance and adventure has not gone out of New England seafaring is easily demonstrated by Mr. Connolly in this volume of roaring good stories about Gloucester fishermen.... They are capitally told and they put you right into the life they tell about."--Providence _News_. "Mr. Connolly really knows the sea and the men that sail it, and his love for it is apparent on every page."--_Leslie's Weekly_. "A collection that for all-round excellence and interest will be hard to duplicate."--Chicago _Record-Herald_. * * * * * THE DEEP SEA'S TOLL With illustrations by W.J. AYLWARD and H.

"No teller of sea tales can put the passion of the sea into his stories more forcibly than Mr. Connolly."--Brooklyn _Eagle_. "The very breath of the ocean blows in these thrilling stories of deep-sea adventure."--Albany _Journal_. * * * * * THE SEINERS With frontispiece by M.J. BURNS 12mo, $1.50 "It carries the sails easily. In Tommy Clancy he has created a veritable Mulvaney of the sea."--_Collier's Weekly_. "Full of vigor and song and the breath of the sea."--_St. James Gazette_. "A real tale of the sea which makes one feel the whiff of the wind and taste the salt of the flying spray--such is Mr. J.B.
