But Kufalt thrust himself into the fray, too, and accused Seidenzopf of living on the men, called him a dirty swine, and finally threw him out. The ex-convict endeavoured to "keep himself on the rails" bat the set of the lide was against him and he was soon on the rocks. He takes to bag-snatch-ing, ‘becomes mixed. up with some of Hamburg’s "undesirables" and finally lands himself back in gaol. But he is not sorry; the bouvk ends on a note that might offend the moralists: "In ‘gaol a man could live in peace. The voices of the world were stilled. No making up one’s mind, no need for effort. Life proceeded duly, and in order. -He was utterly at home. .:An¢ Willi. Kufalt fell quietly asleep." "Who: Once Eats out of ,the: Tin Bowl," Hans Fallada. Putnam, Oun copy from the publishers, '

"RED SAUNDERS" is essentially a man’s book. Written by "Sinbad," the author of "A Modern Sinbad," it chronicles the true adventures of his companion in sail whose audacious exploits were notorious. from Zanzibar to the South Seas. The author met him in the East, sailed in his schooner in the South Seas and spent eleven weeks with him’on a remote island in the Indian Ocean. Saunders was a genial redheaded giant: who as free lance trader, smuggler on occasions, and thorn in the side of petty officialdom was well known to thousands of men alive to-day. It is a fascinating story of almost unbelievable adventure and _ thrills. Saunders was launched on his carrer of adventure when he broke a man’s back over a. billiard table in defence of a woman’s hononr. Afterwards his life seemed to be unending strife. He chased stolen gems in Singapore and bird of paradise plumes in: Papua. . . kidnapped the Sultan of Zanzibar’s harem. . . fought a champion poxer in a circus. . . smuggled opium to con‘victs by means of a coffin. .. outwitted renegade white men, "red tape" officials, grafters and gunrunners from forneo to Madagascar, Eventually he met his death in the jungle at the hands of an ancient enemy. Altogether a bouk nobody should miss reading. ‘"Red Saunders." "Sinbad." George G._ Harrap and Company, Limited. Our copy from the publishers. . H.
