Excerpt from Marooner's Island: Or Dr. Gordon in Search of His Children Marooner's Island has been prepared as an independent sequel to The Young Marooners. The author does not approve of sequels; but so many and so urgent were the requests for the continuation of his former story, that he was allowed no option in the case. The plan adopted in the former work, of imbedding in an interesting narrative as much information as possible of a permanently useful character, has been adopted also in this, and has been more fully carried out. Visitors to the coast of Florida will probably hear witness to the life-likeness of the scenes described.
