The Mutiny of the Elsinore

By JACK LONDON, Author of "The Sea Wolf," "The Call of the Wild,"
etc. With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer. Cloth, 12mo.
$1.35 net.

Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this
vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a
large sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind
of tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it
is pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of
scenes and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea
and ships and those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure
element, of which there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a
most satisfying kind it is, too, there is a thread of romance
involving a wealthy, tired young man who takes the trip on the
_Elsinore_ and the captain's daughter. The play of incident, on the
one hand the ship's amazing crew and on the other the lovers, gives
a story in which the interest never lags and which demonstrates anew
what a master of his art Mr. London is.

Neighbors: Life Stories of the Other Half

By JACOB A. RIIS, Author of "How the Other Half Lives," etc. With
illustrations by W. T. Benda. Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net.

One of the most remarkable books ever written is Jacob Riis' _How
the Other Half Lives_. At the time of its appearance it created
nothing short of a literary sensation, and it is still found among
the widely read and discussed publications. The present volume is a
continuation or an elaboration of that work. In it Mr. Riis tells
with that charm which is peculiarly his own and with a wonderful
fidelity to life, little human interest stories of the people of the
"other half." He has taken incidents in their daily lives and has
so set them before the reader that there is gained a new and a real
insight into the existence of a class which is, with each year,
making its presence felt more and more in the nation. These tales,
though in the garb of fiction, are true. "I could not have invented
them had I tried; I should not have tried if I could," Mr. Riis
tells us in a prefatory note.
