  THE BOY AVIATORS IN AFRICA

  Or, An Aerial Ivory Trail

  In this absorbing book we meet, on a Continent made famous by theAmerican explorer Stanley, and ex-President Roosevelt, our old friends,the Chester Boys and their stalwart chums. In Africa--the DarkContinent--the author follows in exciting detail his young heroes, theirvoyage in the first aeroplane to fly above the mysterious forests andunexplored ranges of the mystic land. In this book, too, for the firsttime, we entertain Luther Barr, the old New York millionaire, who provedlater such an implacable enemy of the boys. The story of his defeatedschemes, of the astonishing things the boys discovered in the Mountainsof the Moon, of the pathetic fate of George Desmond, the emulator ofStanley, the adventure of the Flying Men and the discovery of theArabian Ivory cache,--this is not the place to speak. It would bespoiling the zest of an exciting tale to reveal the outcome of all theseepisodes here. It may be said, however, without "giving away" any of thethrilling chapters of this narrative, that Captain Wilbur Lawton, theauthor, is in it in his best vein, and from his personal experiences inAfrica has been able to supply a striking background for the adventuresof his young heroes. As one newspaper says of this book: "Here isadventure in good measure, pressed down and running over."
