+WORKS BY R.M. BALLANTYNE+.

* * * * *

"In his tales of the sea, of the forest and the flames, and in all that
he writes, there is a fidelity to nature and a knowledge of many paths
of life which are not surpassed by any author in his special field of
literature."--_Morning Post_.

_With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. each_.

NEW VOLUME.

+THE BUFFALO RUNNERS+.

A TALE OF THE RED RIVER PLAINS.

+CHARLIE TO THE RESCUE+.

A TALE or THE SEA AND THE ROCKIES.

"In 'Charlie to the Rescue' Mr. Ballantyne supplies his constituency
--which is now a large and well-satisfied one--with a sufficiency of
battles, sieges, and escapes; the troubles of ranchmen, whose lives are
threatened both by white and by black scoundrels, are admirably
reproduced. It is a capital story."--_Spectator_.

+BLOWN TO BITS+;

Or, THE LONELY MAN OF RAKATA. A TALE OF THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO.

"A capital story, written in the author's old style, and full of life
and action from beginning to end."--_Standard_.

"The book abounds in matter of exceptional interest, and should find its
way into the hands of all young people who would properly estimate the
wide-spreading and far-reaching influences and the extraordinary
character of the Krakatoa outburst."--_Manchester Courier_.

+BLUE LIGHTS+;

Or, HOT WORK IN THE SOUDAN. A TALE OF SOLDIER LIFE IN SEVERAL OF ITS
PHASES.

"An exciting story, full of excellent moral lessons."--_School Board
Chronicle_.

"We heartily recommend 'Blue Lights'."--_Guardian_.

"The soldier's career is graphically depicted, and the story is every
way a good one."--_Literary Churchman_.

_Works by R.M. Ballantyne-continued.

With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. each_.

THE FUGITIVES;

Or, THE TYRANT QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

"There is plenty of adventure in the shape of imprisonment and combats
with men and animals, and a negro and a sailor between them supply a
comic element of the best quality. Everything considered, this is one of
the best stories even Mr. Ballantyne has published."--_Academy_.

RED ROONEY;

Or, THE LAST OF THE CREW.

THE ROVER OF THE ANDES.

A TALE OF ADVENTURE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

"We commend it to boys fond of adventure and of natural phenomena; a
very fascinating book."--_British Quarterly Review._

"An admirable boy's story."--_Scotsman_.

THE YOUNG TRAWLER.

A STORY OF LIFE AND DEATH AND RESCUE IN THE NORTH SEA.

"Few men have laboured so steadfastly in their generation to provide
sound wholesome fare for 'our boys' as Mr. Ballantyne, and the 'Young
Trawler' is worthy of his reputation. It is not a whit less spirited
than his former tales, and conveys a large amount of useful information
on a highly important subject."--_Academy_.

DUSTY DIAMONDS, CUT AND POLISHED.

A TALE OF CITY-ARAB LIFE.

_With Illustrations, Crown 8vo. 5s. each_.

+THE BATTERY AND THE BOILER+;

Or, THE ELECTRICAL ADVENTURES OF A TELEGRAPH CABLE-LAYER.

"There is not a dull page in it."--_Scotsman_.
"The interest never flags."--_Academy_.

+THE GIANT OF THE NORTH+;

Or, POKINGS ROUND THE POLE.

"Of variety of perilous adventures and peril, ingeniously surmounted,
there is no lack."--_Daily News_.

+THE LONELY ISLAND+;

Or, THE REFUGE OF THE MUTINEERS.

"Mr. Ballantyne weaves the romantic episode of the mutiny of the
'Bounty' into a most effective narrative."--_Graphic_.

+POST HASTE+.

A TALE OF HER MAJESTY'S MAILS.

"The book should find a place in every boy's library; it is full of
interest."--_Leeds Mercury_.

+IN THE TRACK OF THE TROOPS+.

A TALE OF MODERN WAR.

"Mr. Ballantyne has blended with the incidents of war on the Danube a
story of personal adventure spiritedly told."--_Daily News_.

+THE SETTLER AND THE SAVAGE+.

A TALE OF PEACE AND WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

"A capital story of South African life. Mr. Ballantyne, through the
medium of a thoroughly manly and healthy tale of sport and war, frolic
and danger, full of stirring yet not exaggerated scenes, presents a
sketch of a very important period of the early history of our colony at
the Cape of Good Hope."--_Times_.

_With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. each_.

+UNDER THE WAVES+;

Or, DIVING IN DEEP WATERS.

"Mr. Ballantyne enlarges the already gigantic debt due to him by the
young, by his 'Under the Waves,' a story meant to illustrate the
practice and peril of diving in deep water, which it does in not only an
interesting, but often in amusing manner."--_Times_.

+RIVERS OF ICE+.

A TALE ILLUSTRATIVE OF ALPINE ADVENTURE AND GLACIER ACTION.

"A tale brimful of interest and stirring adventure."--_Glasgow Herald_.

+THE PIRATE CITY+.

AN ALGERINE TALE.

"The story is told with Mr. Ballantyne's usual felicity, and, as it is
plentifully sprinkled with horrors, no doubt it will be greatly enjoyed
by some boys."--_Athenaeum_.

+BLACK IVORY+.

A TALE OF ADVENTURE AMONG THE SLAVERS OF EAST AFRICA.

"A captivating story. We heartily recommend it."--_Record_.

"Boys will find the book about as delightful a story of adventure as any
of them could possibly desire."--_Scotsman_.

+THE NORSEMEN IN THE WEST+;

Or, AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS.

"This thoroughly delightful book is an adaptation of the Saga of
Iceland, and also of Mr. Laing's 'Heimskingla; or Chronicles of the
Kings of Norway,' supplemented by Mr. Ballantyne's own experience and
adventures in the wilderness of America. These ingredients are put
together with the skill and spirit of an accomplished story-teller; and
the result is a book that cannot possibly be laid down till the very
last word of the last line has been read."--_Athenaeum_.

+THE IRON HORSE+;

Or, LIFE ON THE LINE. A RAILWAY TALE.

"A captivating book for boys."--_Guardian_.

+ERLING THE BOLD+.

A TALE OF THE NORSE SEA KINGS.

"A capital tale of the Norse Sea Kings."--_Times_.

"The story is interesting and full of moving incidents by flood and
field, and it will therefore scarcely fail to be popular among
lads."--_Scotsman_.

"The story is clearly designed, and abounds with elements of romantic
interest; and the Author's illustrations are scarcely less vigorous than
his text."--_Athenaeum_.

+FIGHTING THE FLAMES+.

A TALE OF THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE.

"Many a schoolboy will find keen enjoyment in the perusal of 'Fighting
the Flames,' and assure his little sisters with suitable emphasis that
Mr. Ballantyne is 'a stunning good story-teller.'"--_Athenaeum_.

+DEEP DOWN+.

A TALE OF THE CORNISH MINES.

"Mr. Ballantyne's book will not fail to delight boys, for it is full of
deeds of daring and of 'hairbreadth escapes.'"--_Scotsman_.

"By reading Mr. Ballantyne's admirable story a very large amount of
knowledge concerning Cornish mines may be acquired; whilst from the fact
of the information being given in the form of a connected narrative, it
is not likely very soon to be forgotten.... A book well worthy of being
extensively read."--_Mining Journal._

+THE FLOATING LIGHT OF THE GOODWIN SANDS+.

"The tale will be especially interesting to adventure-loving
boys."--_Record_.

+SHIFTING WINDS+.

A TOUGH YARN.

"A hearty, vigorous, bracing story, fresh with the pure breezes, and
sparkling with the bright waters of the everlasting seas.'"--_Athenaeum_.

+THE LIGHTHOUSE+.

BEING THE STORY OF A GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN MAN AND THE SEA.

_Extract Letter from the Secretary of Northern Lighthouses_.

" ... They (the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses) have been so much
pleased with the way in which you have combined the fiction of a tale
with the popular but correct account of the building of the Bell Rock
Lighthouse, that they think it would be an interesting work to transmit
to their Lightkeepers, and I have therefore to request that you will
direct your publishers to transmit me--copies. (Signed) ALEXR.
CUNNINGHAM."

"Thoroughly at home in subjects of adventure, the Author has made this,
like all his stories for boys, smart in style, thrilling in interest,
and abounding in incidents of every kind."--_Quiver_.

+THE LIFEBOAT+.

A TALE OF OUR COAST HEROES.

"ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.
