" THE KIPLING OF THE OCEAN."

Among the crowd of visitors who are attracted to " God's own country " in pursuit of pleasure or profit, there are none who are assured of a more hearty welcome than a good lecturer, and when he entertains his audienceß with tales of hairbreadth escapes within his own personal expereince, as the author of " The Cruise of the Cachelot " promises to do, it will be his own fault if he does not win their hearts. Mr Bullen shares with Capt. Marryat and Clark Russell the reputa* tion of being one of the most graphic of the novelists who aspire to treat •' of the beauty arid mystery of tbe ships, and the magic of the sea." The personality 0! the lecturer contributes to his success almost as much as the topic be deals with, and his audiences are as anxious to sco him as to hear him. MrßuUen,whowilllecturoattho Drill Hall on Tuesday evening, has a faclnating personality combined with genuine oratorical ability, and those who attend his lectures oan anticipate ah evening of unalloyed pleasure.
