Sight to the Blind by Lucy Furman
page 32 of 34 (94%)

By JACK LONDON, Author of "The Sea Wolf," "The Call of the Wild,"
etc. With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer. Cloth, 12mo.
$1.35 net.

Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this
vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a
large sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind
of tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it
is pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of
scenes and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea
and ships and those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure
element, of which there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a
most satisfying kind it is, too, there is a thread of romance
involving a wealthy, tired young man who takes the trip on the
_Elsinore_ and the captain's daughter. The play of incident, on the
one hand the ship's amazing crew and on the other the lovers, gives
a story in which the interest never lags and which demonstrates anew
what a master of his art Mr. London is.
