Excerpt
The story relates primarily the adventures of Larry Russell and his old-time sea chum, Luke Striker, already well known to the readers of my “Old Glory Series.” Larry and Luke are aboard of their old ship, theColumbia, bound from Manila to Nagasaki, with a cargo designed for the Japanese Government. This is during the war between Russia and Japan, and when close to the Japanese coast the schooner is sighted by a Russian warship and made a prize of war.
