m if llclliilleire KINGS BLCQD VV. P. DRURY OLD in Colonel Drury's inimitable style. this is an enthralling tale of adventure and love during the reign of Queen Anne. The story centres around an old Cornish country house called Dominic and the scene shifts from Cornwall and London to the Mediter- ranean. The hero is involved in many exciting inci- dents which include the capture of Gibraltar. a murder trial at Launceston Assizes, and the killing of a Colonel of Marines by a hound. Through it runs a story of a young ofiicer in Viscount Shannon's regiment of Marines. The blending of truth and Hction, the vivid picture of the sea. London and country life under Queen Anne. make this a most interest- ing book. -Jerry Orendorff, 3 A.

SEVENTY EAT!-IOMS DEEP DAVID SCOTT F it is a book written in a personal, straight- forward, yet very interesting and thrilling manner that you are seeking, allow me to recommend this very one. The author, David Scott, is a well known British journalist whose writings have most certainly given us, through his descrition of the Works ot' the Sorima Sal- vage Comany. a marvellous insight and under- standing of the dangers and perils connected with deep sea diving. Scott himself spent several years as an observer on the flagship of the company: therefore. he speaks with much authority. The Sorima Company. during its career. was the leader of all such concerns. Perhaps the two most famous wrecks of which it had control were the Elizabethville. Which sank near Belle Isle. France. after being tor- nedoed bv a German submarine: and the Egvnt. which toundered in the Rav of Biscay off Ushant. The ease with which operations were enacted on these hulks. although both lay in verv ditficult locations. spoke well for the potentialities of the company. and seemed to promise well for its future. Except for the unfortunate end of the concern by the sinking of its flagship, no doubt greater projects would have been accomplished later. In conclusion I say that the reader may cer- tainly be assured of receiving very valuable, interesting and extremely educationaly mate- rial from it. -Don Miller, IV A. THE ORACLE

PILGRIIVIS QI: TI-IE WILD ' ILGRIMS of the Wild is the story of the pilgrimage of two lovers. It is told in the simple, vivid style of a world-famous Indian half-breed known as Grey Owl. He himself is the first characterg his Wife, Anahareo, daugh- ter of an old line of Iroquois chiefs, is the other. Their home is in the Canadian wild, where they are brought so closely in contact with the beaver that the almost human qualities of these animals win for them the respect and love of these two people. They endeavour to realize their vision of protecting and preserving the life of these little people of the wild. The struggle to provide these sanctuaries has been a long and hard one and is still not completed. Only by Grey Owl's great love of animal life, his strength of character and his perseverance, has he been appointed Protector of Wild Life. In this position he has been able to ensure some safety for the beavers, which are the friends of the rapidly vanishing red man. Grey Owl's intense love of living things, his noble character, his dauntless courage and determination and the spirit of the Indian race are so strongly felt that the story is a living one. Pilgrims of the Wild cannot help but add many new friends to Grey Owl's long list as well as bringing closer to him the older ones. -D. McColl, IV B. TI-IE I-ICUSE of the FOUR WINDS JOHN BUCI-IAN HF you have liked any of Buchan's previous books, you should not fail to read this one. The House of the Four Winds completes the series dealing with the adventures of Dickson McCunn and his friends, which was begun in Huntingtower and carried on in Castle Gay. The same characters remain in this book as in the other two, with the introduction of some new ones. The hero of this story, Jaikie Galt, goes on a walking tour in Europe. He comes into an imaginary country called Evallonia. where plans are being made for a revolution. From this point the story moves at a rapid rate. The monarchist party tries to obtain Jaikie's sup- port, and another party, called Juventus, attempts to do the same. He refuses to help either one and hereupon the leader of the Juventus retains him by force. The chief, who was educated at Cambridge with Jaikie, is per- suaded by the latter that it would be best to unite the two parties. Many difficulties arise and Jaikie goes through numerous perils with- out any visible progress being made. At last, by a brilliant and daring idea on the part of Mr. McCunn, the head of the monarchists is put on the throne. This book is written in the same interest- ing and fast-moving style that made the Adventures of Richard Tannay so well liked. I think that this book is well worth reading and that it should prove interesting to anyone. -Christian Jenson, IV C. f FRIENDS Men count their money to measure their Wealth, And add up their treasures of goldg But each day they labour they build up a treasure That cannot be counted nor sold. Friends are the greatest gifts on earthg A friend who is loyal and true, A treasure whose value is far beyond count, Is sure to be here when you're blue. SOUTH C. I. You may have Wealth in measure untold And a palace that's fit for a king, But you couldn't live long in a Wide World like this Without a friend's doorbell to ring. -Pat Davies, I B. Page Thirty-tive
