IN the spring of 1895 Captain Joshua Slocuni set sail from Boston, U.S.A., in a thirty-six-foot boat built, or at least entirely rebuilt, by himself. Rather more than three years later lie tied up at Newport, after a voyage of 46,000 miles, by way of Gibraltar, the Horn (for crossing the Atlantic twice was nothing in his way), Samoa, where he met R. L. Stevenson , the Capo (where he broke his journey to visit Kruger), and St... Helena, and after many ad. ventures with Moorish pirates, Fuegian savages, and storms. These lie recounts simply, in a terse, humorous Yankee style, in the book (published by Messrs. Sampson Low ) from which Mr. Stobart and Miss Somerville will read to-day.
