by Horace Holden

Transcriber's Notes

1. The author was inconsistent in his use of accents with some of the words in the language of Lord North's island. This inconsistency remains as originally published.

2. Some of the last words of the native's dialogue was moved to the previous page for readibility. This occured on the following pages:

130 text moved to page 129
131 text moved to page 130
133 text moved to page 132

3. The illustration "Escape to Britannia" has been moved from between page 114 and 115 to page 113.
