Andno living writer of Stories of the Sea enjoys such .wide and deserved popularity us the Author of oar forthcoming New Work of Fiction—W. Clave BusseL£, whose brilliant romances havo gained him a front rank reputation in a Hold first exploited by Captain Marryat, and havo obtained for him the hearty admiration of all lof «ra of thi« favourite form of literature. The world gladly welcomes each new romailceby a writer so richly endowed bb W. Clack KussELL, author of "The Wreck of.tho Grosvenor,".."3he Uolden Hope: a Komance of the Deep," VA Sea Queen," and other exquisite stories of the sea. Mr KUSSBIL i« a son of the well-known musical composer nnd singer, whose popular melodies, " Tho Old Arm Chair," "' Woodman, Spare that Tree," " A Life . on the Ocean Wave," " Oliecr, Boi s, Cheer," " Man... the Lifeboat," " Tho Ship on tiro,' &c, were tho fashionable songs a quarter of a century ago, and are still familiar to, and eDJsyed by, tho present generation.

Shortly afterwards tho faniily were again in England. Young Busseu was educated »t> Winchester, and went to sea in Duncan Dunbar's service.

And Publication commences In the columns o( the OTAGO WITNESS On FRIDAY, J3NB 22. - OUTHNH OF THB STOEY. "The De»th Ship''ls the very lateßt work from ClajiK Eusshll's brilliant pen. In this story the oldlegendbf tbe Flying Dutchman is put to strik-ingly-original use. Tho th°mo lends itself to the author* unequalled power to call up the changeable moods of tho sea before the imagination, which faculty, too,' finds oonsplcuous illustration In the drawing of the principal characters. It is not too much to say that Vanderdecken and his baneful crew on their sin-accursed ship, " The Braave," are made to stand, out from the canvas with grim, lifelike reality, and a wonderful vraiaemilance is imparted, which detracts nothing from, but rather leightens, the effect of the supernatural portions of the story. A very charming and lovable heroine adds life to the picture, and acts as a foil to the more gruesome scenes on "The Death Ship," whilst the tragedy at the close comes with appalling effect.
