About This Item
viii+233 pages. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5") bound in original publisher's full orange cloth, front board and spine stamped in red, original pictorial dust jacket. First edition. Major O'Shea has come to Madeira on board a German liner following a certain furthest character, when into his calculations come hurting the unexpected in the form of romance. A willful visit aboard the liner by Nanette, who is visiting Madeira with her parents, brings the pair together. The girl immediately falls in love with the debonair and dashing young man whose mission is such a deep secret. O'Shea, knowing the the desperateness of his situation, repels the sentiment which he himself eels for the girl. Thus it is that they enter the lists against the devilish plots of a gang bent on destroying the Empire and thus it is that the devil-may-care young Irishman comes to have a heartier respect or the abilities of a flapper who at first seems to thing of nothing more serious than to swim out to a liner for a glass of beer. Here is a story packed to the brim with exciting events and exciting, irresistible people. Condition: Cloth spine sunned, corners bumped, light soiling to binding, bookseller's ink-stamp and residue on front end-papers which are toned and foxed. Jacket Tape repairs to jacket verso, spine toned and chipped, jacket panels worn, chipped, soiled, a few tears else very good in about very good jacket.
