ON
THE LAST ENTRY
'"The Last Entry" is a rattling good salt-water yarn, told in theauthor's usual breezy, exhilarating style.'—Daily Mail.
'In this new novel Mr. Russell has cleverly thrown its events into theyear 1837, and there are one or two ingenious passages which add to theDiamond Jubilee interest which that date suggests.... "The Last Entry"is as certain of general popularity as any of Mr. Russell's former talesof the marvels of the sea.'—Glasgow Herald.
'We do not think it possible for anyone to dip into this novel withoutdesiring to finish it, and it adds another to the long list of successesof our best sea author.'—Librarian.
'In addition to mutiny and murder, "The Last Entry" contains many ofthose good things which have made Mr. Russell's pages a joy to so manylovers of the sea during the last twenty years.... "The Last Entry" is awelcome addition to Mr. Clark Russell's library.'—Speaker.
'The writer is as realistic and picturesque as usual in his vividdescriptions of the stagnant life on board the homeward-boundIndiaman.'—Times.
'It is full of pleasant vigour.... As is always the case in Mr. ClarkRussell's books, the elements are treated with the pen of anartist.'—Standard.
'We expected plenty of go, of fresh and vigorous description ofsea-faring life, coupled with a story which would not be wanting ininterest. All this we have here.'—Tablet.
