ground in writing for English periodical publications, has written a first novel that conforms to the usual British flavor of composition. Though the story flows fairly well, it does seem to this reviewer there is too much adherence to the Victorian conception of British Army life, and Political superiority, in Colonial matters; however, one is led to wonder if this attention is not overdrawn so as to point up the ridiculousness of such attitudes: certainly the author has used this novel, in part, as a vehicle to express his contempt for certain other phases of recent British Political and Military men and maneuvers

about which he has reason to possess personal knowledge. As for our theme, unmistakably the account of homosexuality is present in the narration, and the manner in which it has been handled will please those who enjoy examples of the theme being displayed as merely a portion of the whole. Too often, alas, for me, the thin and wavering thread seems lost, or bogged down, in the weave of extraneous detail. But, all in all, this is a volume that could with much justification be suggested as a delightful diversion from the ordinary, and even as a pleasing addition to a library.
