# August 1916 Adventure Contents

Yahoya, a complete novel by Jackson Gregory, dominates this issue. Northrup, prospecting for gold in the American Southwest, falls injured among desert rocks. Delirious from heat and dehydration, he becomes fixated on mysterious eyes watching him from the rocks above—eyes he variously imagines belong to a savage, a monster, a rattlesnake, or a predator. When consciousness returns under moonlight, he must confront the actual source of the gaze. The story promises to reveal both Northrup's fate and his discovery of a "century-long hidden secret of the desert," culminating in romance with Yahoya, described as a remarkable girl from a strange desert Indian race.

Additional stories include Frederick William Wallace's "Some Fishing," about a Canadian fishing-boat crew snagging a submarine; W.C. Tuttle's humorous yarn "Psychology and Copper"; Frederick S. Macy's "The One Sheep That Was Lost," set among American soldiers in the Philippines; and the serial "In the Grip of the Minotaur" by Farnham Bishop and Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur, depicting Norsemen's first visit to Troy in ancient times.
