First edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth with white titles and borders to the spine, in the illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with light rubbing to the extremities and a few small marks to the cloth. The contents, toned to the textblock edges, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper, that is chipped at the spine ends and flap corners with several tears repaired with tape to the underside. Not price-clipped (7s. 6d. net to the lower front flap).
As war is declared, a British steamer carrying munitions must make for port, whilst out-manoeuvering a German U-boat. Scarce.
