Thanks to his knowledge of the veldt he is of signal service to his country, and even outwits the redoubtable De Wet.</span></p> + <div class="vspace" style="height: 1em"></div><!-- --> + <blockquote> + <div> + <p class="pfirst"><span>"Altogether an unusually good story."--</span><em class="italics">Yorkshire Post</em><span>.</span></p> + </div> + </blockquote> + <div class="vspace" style="height: 2em"></div> + <p class="pfirst"><strong class="bold">Under the Spangled Banner:</strong></p> + <div class="vspace" style="height: 1em"></div> + <p class="pfirst"><span>A Tale of the Spanish-American War.</span></p> + <div class="vspace" style="height: 1em"></div> + <p class="pfirst"><span>With 8 Illustrations by PAUL HARDY. 5s.</span></p> + <div class="vspace" style="height: 1em"></div> + <p class="pfirst"><span>Hal Marchant is in Cuba before the commencement of hostilities.
