Books by James B. Connolly

PUBLISHED BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS

"_Few writers have the ability to picture sea life with the accuracy and feeling which Mr. Connolly has always shown."--Boston Herald._

HEAD WINDS

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

This book is remarkable for the variety of stories it contains and their characters, which include Continental immigrants, Central American soldiery, Gloucester fishermen, Mississippi roustabouts and steamboat people, American bluejackets, and newspaper correspondents. These are among the best stories Mr. Connolly has ever written.

SONNIE-BOY'S PEOPLE AND OTHER STORIES

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

"Mr. Connolly writes with a classic simplicity, an artistic directness, a seafaring virility such as may seldom be found in short stories of this day or any other."--_Los Angeles Times_.

OPEN WATER

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

A collection of stories of the same type--breezy, fresh, vigorous--as those in his earlier books.

Some are of Gloucester fishermen, some of the men of the navy, some of the smugglers--in all such is the smack of the salt-laden wind, the rattle and creak of ships' tackle, the dull boom of pounding surf or the hissing crash of the breakers. But there are the other stories of sport and adventure ashore of which Mr. Connolly has shown his complete mastery.

THE CRESTED SEAS

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

"Tales of daring and reckless deeds which make the blood run quicker and bring an admiration for the hardy Gloucester men who take their lives in their hands on nearly every trip they make. There are Martin Carr and Wesley Marrs and Tommy Clancy and others of the brave crew that Connolly loves to write about."--_Chicago Post_.

WIDE COURSES

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

"He holds our attention with these eight new stories of his, holds it in lighter mood as well as in the dramatic key which he touches oftenest, the key of man in his indomitable courage doing battle with storm and wave, with the hardships of life that have hardened him. These 'Wide Courses' are, indeed, interesting sailing with never a dull moment."--_New York Tribune_.

OUT OF GLOUCESTER

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

"His book gives graphic descriptions of life on board of a fisherman and has the genuine salt-water flavor. Mr. Connolly knows just what he is writing about, from actual experience, as his book very plainly indicates, and as such it is a valuable addition to sea literature."--_Gloucester Times_.

THE DEEP SEA'S TOLL

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_

"Sea stories of the land you can't help liking. Stirring, heart-moving yarns of the Gloucester fishermen who brave death daily in pursuit of their calling."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.

"No teller of sea tales can put the passion of the sea into his stories more forcibly than Mr. Connolly."--_Brooklyn Eagle_.

"The very breath of the ocean blows in these thrilling stories of deep-sea adventure."--_Albany Journal_.

"Full of vigor and song and the breath of the sea."--_St. James Gazette_.

"A real tale of the sea which makes one feel the whiff of the wind and taste the salt of the flying spray--such is Mr. J. B. Connolly's new book, 'The Seiners.' ... Certainly there is not a lover of the sea, man or woman, who will fail to be delighted with this breezy, stirring tale."--_London Daily Telegraph_.

AN OLYMPIC VICTOR

_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net_
