THE SULTAN’S PEARLS;
Or, NICK CARTER’S PORTO RICO TRAIL.
Edited by CHICKERING CARTER.
CHAPTER I.
THE MAN WHO WAS LOST.
“Man overboard!”
Nick Carter—known to the captain and crew of the tramp steamer Cherokee as Sykes, the bos’n—heard this shout, taken up by man after man, as he lay stretched out on the foc’s’le head, in the early morning, just as the ship nosed her way into San Juan harbor, on the northern coast of Porto Rico.
The thrilling warning that somebody has fallen into the sea, which always sends a shock through both crew and passengers whenever heard, does not permit any ordinary person to remain quietly dozing.
