The Chinook 1914 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Camosun, Vol. 7: November, 1914 Roger rescues the drowning Veronica and wards off a murderous attack by the Frenchman. Eventually they are picked up by a large cargo boat bound for South African ports. Hardly have they proceeded a mile 'when a terrific boiler explosion takes place and this vessel also sinks. Roger once again rescues his lady love and swims with her to the shore, some three miles distant. They leave Hugo in a drowning condition and still uttering curses upon them. They reach shore and Roger sets off in search of assistance. Returning after a fruitless search, he discovers-a stealthy, man-eating tiger which is stalking Veronica. With one bound he siezes the brute by the throat and after a long struggle he strangles the beast. A band of native fishermen appear and take them off in their small craft. They pass by the dead body of the French nobleman on towards the shores of Monte Carlo, where they are received with a benediction from the haughty parents.
