PIRATES AND BUCCANEERS
A SABATINI STORY A story of those far-off adventurous days when men "i wore their silks and satins and ruffles and were quick to draw sword with equal readinsss in defence of maid, honour or cause, is readily welcomed. When it comes from that master teller of historical stories, Rafael Sabatini, it is doubly welcome. One delights as in childhood days in the accounts of the bloody doings of pirates and buccaneers, of fights on Jand and sea. Ihe authoi draws a. very realistic picture of those days, and introduces a delightful character in Monsieur do Bernis, who lives his life with true buccaneer audacity which of times leaves his pirate associates ing with amazement/. " Black Swan will lie enjoyed by all those "who prefer no\cls uf the days of the Spanish Main. " Black Swan," by Itafael Sabatini. (Ilut(liimson.)
