=Sam Silvan'S Sacrifice:= The Story of Two Fatherless Boys. By Jesse
Colman.
The story of two brothers--the elder a lad of good and steady
disposition; the younger nervous and finely-strung, but weaker and
more selfish. The death of their grandparents, by whom they are
being brought up, leads to their passing through a number of
adventures in uncomfortable homes and among strange people. In the
end the elder brother's generous care results in his sacrificing
his own life to save that of his brother, who realizes when it is
too late the full measure of his indebtedness.
=A Warrior King:= The Story of a Boy's Adventures in Africa. By J.
Evelyn.
A story full of adventure and romantic interest. Adrian Englefield,
an English boy of sixteen, accompanies his father on a journey of
exploration inland from the West Coast. He falls into the hands of
the Berinaquas, and becomes the friend of their prince, Moryosi,
but is on the point of being sacrificed when he is saved by the
capture of the kraelah by a neighbouring hostile tribe. He is soon
after retaken by the Berinaquas, and saves the life of Moryosi. The
two tribes are ultimately united, and Adrian and his friends are
set at liberty.
