Captain Antifer

A story from the untiring pen of Jules Verne has always been welcomed from a very wide circle of readers. No one that we ever knew has yet tired of 'the wward's ' works. He takes his characters through the wildest and most improbable (to say no more) incidents, and yet he describes everything as though it were not only probable, but actually true, and while we are deep in one of his stories we believe everything that we read. Captain Antifer's father had befriended an Egyptian prisoner at Jafi, Ramylk l'asha, and many years after he received a mysterious document naming latitude 24 degrees 59 minutes north, and saying that the longitude would follow later. It never did; but Antifer succeeded in discovering it, and had a series ofmost exciting adventures in searching for the wealth which was to be found on the spot indicated. The story, which is thrillingly interesting from beginning to end, is lavishly illustrated.
