In the following story fact is blended with fiction. The account of the Battle of the North Sea, in which the “Blücher” was sunk, is as historically accurate as is possible with the details at present available. On the other hand, it would be well for the reader to know that the description of the pursuit of the “Dresden” in mid-Atlantic is wholly fictitious. The incident is introduced “for my story’s sake,” as Robert Louis Stevenson used to say, and also because it is illustrative of the character of the “Sea Affair” in the earlier days of the war.

Hello Mr. Rutledge!
Thank you for the Gilson books. I have scoured Gutenberg pretty thoroughly for adventure stories, but somehow I had missed these.
Will you also be doing "Treasure of Kings"?
