Well, here they are--the
main characters in the best sea
tale that J. Allen Dunn ever
wrote-all except Peggy, the
captains handsome daughter.
The scene is the main cabin of
the Karluk, about to sail from
San Francisco to the mysteri-
GUS islands of the North Pacific
for gold--a sample of which
lies on the table. Lund, re-
turned from the dead, and
snow-blind, breaks in upon the
Syndicate" The man handling
the gold is Carlson, physician
and mate, who is planning to
kill the captain with drugs,
seize his daughter and make off
with the gold. Rainey, a news
paper man there by chance, is
shanghaied when the Karluk
sails.
Of course the handsome Peg
gy is the mate" But who is
the man" - Lund? Carlsen7
