THE EBBING OF THE TIDE
Reading edition
BY
LOUIS BECKE
Author of "By Reef and Palm"
Second Edition. Crown 8vo., cloth, 6s.
“Mr. Louis Becke wields a powerful pen, with the additional advantage that he waves it in unfrequented places, and summons up with it the elemental passions of human nature.... It will be seen that Mr. Becke is somewhat of the fleshly school, but with a pathos and power not given to the ordinary professors of that school.... Altogether for those who like stirring stories cast in strange scenes, this is a book to be read.”—National Observer.
