Adventure. pure and simple, upon
pleasantly alert, in the vivid company
of Ross Sidney. as he grows reminis-
cent over his thrilling hazards as a
deep-sea diver. That same old lost
treasure that since the day of Capt.
Kidd has enhanced the lure of the sea,
here gives point and objective to the
movement. and expands the scene of
this vigorous action to take in both the
Atlantic and the Pacific coasts. Around
himself the hero gathers many an I'M
usual and striking character, each of
whom he presents to the reader most
effectively in his own individual per-
son. An unusual theme, filled with real
dangers and the courage to meet them,
one crowded with tight places and the
ready turn to evade them. with an all
out of doors to sustain the line OF
closely woven events - these give. to
this adventure fair promise to the
reader who is seeking relief through
the gateway of strenuous make-be-
lieye.
