Item description from seller

Generously illustrated with black and white photos and illustrations. Features: The Tragic Pearl - First found off the coast of North-West Australia, a special pearl quickly changes from person-to-person, leaving death in its wake - a famous Australian crime story; The Tiger-Killer - Major Jim Corbett specializes in single-handedly shooting troublesome tigers in the hills of Kumaun, India; Blundering Through the Balkans - Part I - John Gibbons takes his amusing act on the road again; The "White Indians" of North Carolina - A photo-illustrated article about the Croatan Indians, said to be the lineal descendants of Raleigh's ill-fated "Lost Colonists," with whom, in 1587, the friendly Red men abandoned the settlement of Roanoke and went out into the wilds to start life afresh; Left in Charge - A 19-year-old, just six weeks from home, finds himself in charge of a lonely South African sheep farm, only to have alarming things begin to happen, including a skirmish with sheep stealers; The Money-Finder - An amusing story involving a peppery West African Commissioner, a wily native chief who tried to avoid paying his taxes, and a young officer who was a bit of a conjurer; The Boy Who Sought Adventures - Part III - B. Wicksteed continues his amazing young adventures; The Opium-Smugglers - In the ancient walled city of Manila the author met a friend who told him this strange story; My Mystery Job - A queer story told by a builder's foreman concerning a remarkable job he had been called upon to undertake; Whose Hippo? - A nasty legal battle ensues after a Hippo is shot; The Land of Mystery - Part III of III - Col. E. Alexander Powell and his cousin Colonel Gallowhur continue their travels through unexplored Nepal - with many lovely photos; The Djimat - The figurehead of an old sailing ship goes missing during alterations and the superstitious natives of Java are sure trouble is sure to follow; and more. 84 pages plus 28 pages. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. A quality copy of this fascinating vintage issue.
