Very Exciting and Very Entertaining / By George Ethelbert Walsh NEARLY every person fond of romantic literature likes a good sea story; but a majority of the writers of today seem to think that modern conditions have taken all the romance out of the seas. This author proves the contrary. The impulse to piracy is just as strong as it ever was, and the fact that it gets fewer opportu n'ties to manifest itself does not put it entirely out of consideration as a basis for a good story. Wrecks, mutinies, kidnappings and lootings which formed so large a part of the old tales of the sea are not by any means impos sible or improbable in our present so-called enlightened age. THE NAME VALHALLA, suggests an agreeable place. This one is. It is a small privately owned island, the winter home of a millionaire, in the subtropical re gions of the Atlantic ocean. The pirates of the story are mostly of the Wall Street financial sort. The gold for which they fight is buried in the vaults of New York’s financial district. The ship involved is not one of the low, rakish crafts of old flying the Jolly Roger, but is a modern, palatial private yacht. And the crew is not en tirely composed of cutthroats. There is a kidnapping^ The millionaire and his daughter are the victims of the in dignity. All might have gone well with the plotters had it not been for the presence of a stowaway aboard tne yacht. THE STOWAWAY is quite the most interesting person in the narrative. He is lazily fishing from a dock when the yacht took anchorage nearby. Something familiar and at the same time peculiar about the ship engaged his attention. A chance meeting with .some of her passengers further arose his curiosity and de cided him that there might be an adventure aboard. He took quarters on her without being invited and without his presence being suspected. He was in time to prevent a murder, a very sizable looting and several minor but sinister designs. He found a whole set of adventures. They came to him with such a rush that he hacLdrffi- culty in taking care of them. Strenuous as his experi ence was, it wound up very pleasantly in a happy love romance and the recovery of a fortune which his pater nal ancestors h&d intended for him, but which had been wrested from said ancestor before he had opportunity to bequeath it. - - IF YOU HAVE read any of the Western stories, sea stories, boys’ stories, animal stories, etc., wfttten by GEORGE ETHELBERT WALSH, you know that something distinctly exciting and agreeable is to be ex pected. ^He has turned out upward of tw r enty books and more than sixty magazine serials dealing with outdoor life and adventures. His tales-are clever, entertaining and satisfying. THE FIRST INSTALLMENA of ‘7N VALHALLA AND OUT” will appear in next week’s issue of THJE » _ . « . ; ————^ ; BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL.
