Review - Includes the item, 'New Hilda Bridges Serial' : 'The Herald 's next serial will be "Shadows", a story of adventure and mystery, by Hilda Bridges. It will begin on Saturday next. The work of Miss Bridges is well known to readers of The Herald. This story is as cleverly written and exciting as those from her pen that have appeared in these pages previously. And that is saying a great deal. The heroine of the story is a girl who goes to live with her uncle on the Coast of Tasmania, and becomes involved in a desperate enterprise by smugglers. An air of mystery permeates the whole of the story, and the excitement is carried right through to the end. Do not fail to begin it next Saturday', (p. 24).
