[Transcriber's Notes:]
Added table of contents.
Images may be clicked to view larger versions.
Retained some inconsistent hyphenation (e.g. "deathtrap" vs. "death-trap").
Page 1, changed "commisssion" to "commission" ("a strange commission") and changed "Hargreaves" to "Hargraves" ("Hargraves and Irwin on the case").
Page 3, there appears to be an error in the phrase "It the same name," but this is reproduced here as printed since it is impossible to know whether the original intent was "it is" or "it's."
Page 5, changed "Tow" to "Tom" in "Tom Owens looked again."
Page 6, changed "day" to "way" in "woman led the way."
Page 11, added missing quote after "in a day or two."
Page 12, changed "placed" to "place" in "for which place the yacht sailed" and changed "statute" to "statue" in "statue-like figures."
