What you’re looking at

This is a text page from a pulp magazine titled "The South Sea Island Number." The page contains prose narrative (page 32) featuring dialogue between characters named Kavanagh and Bruch discussing a man named John Maxwell, who appears to be a collector of orchids. The conversation reveals Maxwell is wealthy, somewhat foolish in his pursuits, and dangerous in his business dealings with local people. Kavanagh is searching for Maxwell and eventually dines with him at a hotel, discovering Maxwell holds an influential position in town and possesses considerable money. The narrative suggests Maxwell harbors a significant secret. No illustrations appear on this page—it is entirely typeset text continuing a story.
