GRAND WINTER CRUISES

FOR

BY THE MAGNIFICENT

TWIN-SCREW EXPRESS STEAMERS

OF THE

HAMBURG-AMERICAN LINE.

OR several years past the Hamburg-American Line has arranged cruises at certain seasons, placing at the disposal of travellers one of its floating palaces, and affording them all the comforts and luxuries of modern life. These cruises have become so popular with the American travelling public that the Company has made them a permanent feature of its service. THE FIRST CRUISE will be by the Twin-Screw Express Steamer FÜRST BISMARCK, Captain Albers, sailing from New York January 28, 1896, to MADEIRA, the MEDITERRANEAN, and the ORIENT.

Touching at Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Genoa, Villefranche (Nice), Tunis, Alexandria (Cairo and Pyramids), Jaffa (Jerusalem), Smyrna, Constantinople, Athens, Malta, Messina, Palermo, Naples, Genoa, and return to New York.

The cruise from New York to the Orient and return to New York will occupy about ten weeks. Passengers desiring to prolong their stay in Europe before returning to America may leave the excursion upon touching at Genoa the second time and take any one of the Hamburg-American Line's Express Steamers from Hamburg, Southampton, or Cherbourg, to New York, up to August 1, 1896.

Ever since the childhood of the human race the Mediterranean coasts have played the most important part in the history of advancing civilization. Greece has bequeathed to us her precious legacy of art and poetry, Rome has given us her grand representatives of patriotism and statecraft, Egypt has filled our souls with thrills of awe and wonderment, the Holy Land has inspired us with lofty sentiments and religious fervor. All along the blue Mediterranean Sea we find the indelible imprints of man's past, the glorious monuments of antiquity. The whole scenery of ancient history unrolls before our eyes, not in artistic reproduction, but in all its realistic grandeur and glory. The memories of such a trip, the sights of the scenery of the most remarkable events of man's history, will remain for a lifetime in the soul of every beholder.

THE SECOND CRUISE will be by the Twin-Screw Express Steamer COLUMBIA, Captain Vogelgesang, sailing from New York January 25, 1896, to the WEST INDIES and the SPANISH MAIN.

The Itinerary will be: From New York and Old Point Comfort to Port au Prince (Hayti), Mayaguez (Porto Rico), St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbados, Trinidad, La Guayra (for Caracas) and Puerto Cabello (Venezuela), Kingston (Jamaica), Havana, Key West, Old Point Comfort, and New York.

This tour lasts about four and a half weeks, and offers American tourists a most attractive and comfortable means of escaping the bitter blasts of our rigorous Northern winters.

A glance at the itinerary suggests at once tales of romance and adventure, recalling many a famous exploit of dead-and-gone worthies. But it also presents to the mind a vista of smooth seas and lovely palm-covered beaches, of beautiful scenery and strange peoples, offering an ever-varying and inexhaustible fund of novelty to divert the mind and charm the senses. In cruising from port to port in these enchanted seas, among verdant and flower-clothed islands, nature is seen in her brightest and most beautiful mood, and life in the tropics at its best. It would be difficult, indeed, to imagine any attribute of an ideal winter resort not found among these "Fortunate Isles.”

CABLE CONNECTION WITH ALL PORTS TOUCHED ON THIS CRUISE.

THE TIME AT EACH PORT IS AMPLY SUFFICIENT TO VISIT ALL PLACES OF INTEREST. For further particulars, descriptive pamphlet, rates, etc., address

The book is filled with splendid things-things
that no other living novelist could write: fine

tions. There is everywhere the fine line of
drawing, the fine color, the fine selection, the
fine perspective of the accomplished artist."
-The National Observer.

The Best American Novel of the Year."

THE RED REPUBLIC.

A Romance of the Commune. By ROBERT W. CHAMBERS, author of "The King in Yellow," "In the Quarter," etc., etc. 12mo, ornamental cover, $1.25.

35

"The Red Republic' stands head and shoulders above any American novel of the year. There are in it wonderfully impressive pictures of the days of the Commune. I know of no book-fiction or history-in which the savage cruelty of the mob, the pitilessness of irresponsible power, the pathos of headless armies marching to death, are so vividly described. It has blood and it has viscera. And the thing lives."- Commercial Advertiser.

·

"Mr. Chambers showed in 'The King in Yellow' that he had the clue to the secret. This work shows that he is nearer that secret now. He has already earned a place among the men of whom things are 'expected,' and he can do what few men can do he can tell a story."-JAMES L. FORD in New York Journal.

"Why is the book so good, and so difficult to lay down unfinished?"- New York Recorder.

"By far the most notable book of the week. Last season American letters were enriched by two very original and very remarkable books, viz., Chimmie Fadden' and The King in Yellow.' 'The Red Republic' is, I think, the one sort of historical novel which has a chance of living very far into the next century. . . . A wonderfully real and intensely vital picture of the Commune. There is in the book a fine quality of romance which carries you along to the last page in a pleasurable state of excitement. .. A book that will hold your attention from the first page to the last. . . . I do not think one need hesitate to call The Red Republic' the best American novel of the year."-VANCE THOMPSON.
