On reverse: “TALES OF HUNTING EXPLOITS. In the course of their travels, Mr. Roosevelt and his party have had to spend many hours on board small river and land steamers. Thrilling tales by Mr. Roosevelt, who has had many years’ experience hunting in the wild animals of North America, and by Mr. Selous, Africa’s most famous hunter, made the time pass quickly and pleasantly.
