A blood curdling tale “about a mining engineer, an expert on rubies, who, with a magnificent ruby in his pocket, was on his way home from India when he suddenly dropped out of sight in Brindisi. Thereupon his son and two adventurous friends, believing him to have been kidnapped and carried back ... to a remote part of India by a wicked native ... started out to rescue him. And if there is any sort of danger, by wind, or waves, or wild beasts, or wicked men, through which they did not wade up to their chins, it is merely because there was not room in the book’s 300 pages for another incident.”—N. Y. Times.
