...Longyear's "'Goose' Brodie" is a notably successful attempt to carry us back to the days of the African slave trade, with the difficult vehicle of Scotch dialect. The movement of the story is uninterrupted, the episodes clearly drawn, and the dialect at once consistent and unobtrusive. The tale is better than Mr. Plummer's sketch of a cat which became ship's mascot. This unpromising subject is, however, handled in a manner which, if a trifle juvenile, is far from puerile.

The same writer returns to the charge with "The Doctor from Spain." This time he develops an entertaining tale of the adventure of a pretended doctor; after the denouement he seems rather uncertain how to end his story. Mr. Parson has allowed himself hardly enough room, in "Captain Kidd and Crew," in which to manipulate his theme; and within his single page he wastes several sentences in making comments that disclose...
