THE TRAIL AHEAD William E. Barrett gives us next month the stirring tale of one of the world’s great struggles for freedom. In the first of three gripping insiallments you'll ride and fight— “To the Last Man” —with Craig Archer, the American, under the banners of Bernardo O’Higgins and General Jose Francisco de San Martin, as they wrest the freedom of Chile and the Argentine from the Spanish overlord in action after glorious action among the blizzard-swept Andean peaks and passages. Nurtured in the cradle of North American liberty it was inevitable that such a man as Archer should be drawn to the South American continent where patriots of another land were making their parallel bid for freedom. The whole thrilling panorama of the Wars of Independence of our neighbors to the south un- folds in this great novel by a great writer. Georges Surdez takes us across the Sahara Desert wastes on a mysterious— “Mission to Mauritania” —that was planned aboard a battle cruiser, shifted shortly to camel-back, turned into a solo trek afoot across the burning sands, forgot its sea-bound genesis in the bomb bay of a tri-motored airplane only to end in the stinking hold of a Senegalese fishing boat north of Dakar. The author of the Chanod stories, in this exciting new novelette, turns from the Tonkin to the arid Africa he knows so well, to write a story as timely as tomorrow’s headlines of the war that’s brewing off Rio de Oro and that’s already begun in the desert flanking it. Frank Richardson Pierce gives us ‘‘Yumpin’ Yimminy—A Yap,” a belly-laugh-crammed yarn of the West Coast lumber country; Paul Annixter in “Laughing Bones,” lets us listen to the diabolical chuckles of the only hyena in Libya to be mentioned in army orders; Roy Yonge takes us to the Papuan jungles to meet one of the few real New Zealanders extant; plus the other devartments, articles and features you won’t find anywhere but in— COMmiclooolk (CO)
