The “Billy Topsail” Books By NORMAN DUNCAN The Adventures of Billy Topsail Illustrated, cloth, $1.50 “There was no need to invent conditions or imagine situations. The life of any lad of Billy Topsail’s years up there is sufficiently romantic. It is this skill in the portrayal of actual conditions that lie ready to the hand of the intelligent observer that makes Mr. Duncan’s Newfoundland stories so noteworthy. ‘The Adventures of Billy Topsail’ is a wonderful book.”––Brooklyn Eagle. Billy Topsail and Company Illustrated, cloth, $1.50 Every boy who knows Billy Topsail will welcome this continuation of his adventuresome life in the North. Like its predecessor, the new volume is a stirring story for boys, true to life, among the hardy sons of the sea, clean, pure and stimulating. |

To
Chauncey Lewis
and to
“Buster,”
good friends both,
sometimes to recall to them
places and occasions
at
Mike Marr’s:
Dead Man’s Point, Rolling Ledge, the
Canoe Landing, the swift and
wilful waters of the West Branch,
Squaw Mountain, the trail
to Dead Stream, the raft
on Horseshoe,
the Big Fish, the
gracious kindness of the
L. L. of E. O.,
(as well as her sandwiches),
and the never-to-be-forgotten flapjacks
that “didn’t look it”
but were indeed “all
there.”
