“Another machine-made yarn of crime and alleged mystery. The diamond ship is a huge floating repository of the booty collected by an organized band of jewel-thieves. The leader employs the method of a captain of industry, and his operations are conducted upon a vast scale.... The usually helpless maiden is involved.”—Nation.


“It is all very interesting, if somewhat ingenuous, and those in search of a well-written book of adventure are recommended to buy it.”
