The author is a negro of West Indian descent, who has written a passionate plea for understanding and unity of life between the' Afri- can and European peoples. To do this he has told the more or less fictitious story of Caleb Buller, in the curller chapters, a negro, boy in British Gujana, and, later, a man in England, meeting all the hardships and suffering due to racial division and hostility!

The opening scenes in George- town. Demerara, are vividly des cribed, Rolio Ahmed does not Idealise or whitewash the negro. He is frank about his childish weaknesses, his crude supersti- tions, his vices, often encouraged and exploited by white contacts and interests. At the same time he makes no bitter attack on the whites, but sees their weaknesses and vices too. The little Caleb grows up; he is befriended, by a kind-hearted white family who have been slave owners in the past. He knows that his associa- tion can be. at the best, servile.

Always he longs for freedom and equality. His beloved Mammy is killed in * street accident; his careless father is away at sea,

The boy grows up alone. He is a British subject, so he must go to England. He works his passage to Liverpool. But Liverpool and Eng- land are not kind. He is a negro; England calls him a "nigger." Still". he struggles through all the th and vice of a seaport.

Poverty and race-prejudice al- most conquer, but he is strong and rises again and again. He meets. a white woman; the two fall irre- sistibly in love, and there follow all the difficultles and tragedies of a mixed marriage. But Caleb and his wife hold fast in a joint hope for a new world in which all men and women will be accepted as. Brothers and sisters.

This striking work is na dull piece Jf special pleading. It is a tale which particularly in the eariler scenes, carries the reader's interest with dramatic force. Coincidence is too frequent. but sincerity and a natural gift to create living" scenes have produced "1. book minds which should stir many which may have ignored one of the most urgent problems in the modern world-Daily Telegraph."

in front of me the head of the monster.

"The monster had a race like a camel's. The head was about 2ft long. A tuft of hair on the top of the skull was quite thick, otherwise the head was entirely hairless and the skin almost white. It bad large, unblinking, eyes, bigger than golf balls, and it was really uncanny the way it stared at me."

Mr. Cyril Maude did not see the monster, but his comment was: "My gardener has had a lot of experience of the sea. I am certain he did see the thing he has: described to you."
