Margaret E. Bell, of Loring, will

lished by William Morrow and
Company, New York, this month.
It is the story of Lisbeth Craig,
of Hermit Bay, who had to leave
Alaska to go to school in the States

of it. She hated it because she loved
everything about the wild country
that had been home for all her
thirteen years, and feared it be
cause she knew she would be dif
ferent from tht other girls.
St. Anne’s, in California, was a
church school with fine traditions,
but Lisbeth found it as hard to get
accustomed to the girls as she had
feared. And just when she was at
last beginning to understand them
a little, a storm arose tar wor e
than any she had met in Alaska, j
How Lisbeth iode out the storm is
the climax of this unusual story.

of Wales Island, the rcenc of her
two earlier novels for older girls.
“Watch For a Tall White Sail" and
“The Totem Casts a Shadow." Her
family settled in Klinkwan, on the
Island, and in 1947 Miss Bell jour
neyed there to find her grandfa
ther's house, of which only a lew
traces remained. She sailed around
the Island cn a mail boat piloted !
by an Indian who was(ablc to po n.
out the old passages where the
(steamboats used to run. She report;
that the country is as wild and a;
lonely as ever.
Miss Bell went to the State; f:r
her schooling, at the Annie Wright
Seminary in Tacoma and later at
the University of Washington in
Seattle. She lived for a number of
years in Portland, Oregon, return
ing each summer to Alaska. Prior to
World War II, she lived f r ten
years in San Francisco. During the
war she spent three and a half
years working with the Red Cro;s
