Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pebbles on the Shore Alpha of the Plough
These papers were begun as a part of a causerie in The Star, the other contributors to which men whose names are household words in contem porary literature - wrote under the pen names of Aldebaran, Arcturus and Sirius. But the constellation, formed in the early days of the war, did not long survive the agitations of that event, and when Arcturus left for the battle field it was finally dissolved and Alpha of the Plough alone remained to continue the causerie. This selection from his papers is a sort of informal diary of moods in a time of peril. They are pebbles gathered on the shore of a wild sea.
