NEW CAPTAIN KETTLE?
"AFALSTAFF OF THE SEA.",
Sailing ships, are vanishing fast, but the spirit of the men who sailed them still persists. No one knows that better than Mr. Morlcy Roberts, and in his "Adventures of Captain Spmlc (Eveleijjh Nash and Grayson, 3a. 6d net), he gives a delightful picture of the captain of a tramp steamer,' who, whether he is defying all Spain, treating an iceberg as a desert island, or outwitting- a German submarine, displays a confidence in British supremacy which cannot fail to find a responsive echd in everyone who loves the sea. Captain Harry Sharpness Spink, of Gloucester, is a Falstaff of the sea, great in humour, great in luck, great in the. unique spirit of England.
