AGAINST HEAVY ODDS.

_A TALE OF NORSE HEROISM._

BY HJALMAR HJORTH BOYESEN.

=With 13 full-page Illustrations by W. L. Taylor.=

_One volume, 12mo, $1.00_

The narrative of how the indomitable pluck and perseverance of Ingomar
Vang, the young Norwegian inventor and whaler, enabled him to triumph
against heavy odds will stir the blood in every boy's veins. The tragic
fate of Prebensen, the rich, cruel and selfish oppressor of everyone in
the little northern whaling village, is pictured with much dramatic
force. A healthy, honest, manly tone pervades this story of a young
man's trials and final successes. The illustrations are in Mr. Taylor's
best style, full of character and color, and faultlessly drawn.
