About this issue

Adventure, May 15th issue, contents This pulp adventure magazine issue contains six short stories and serials. "The Mystery of Mergui" by S. B. H. Hurst opens with a degenerate white man named Smithies in the rain-soaked Burmese port town, extorting money from a Chinese merchant while planning escape via letter to his brother in Australia. After Smithies is found knifed and drowned at a wharf, a schooner arrives carrying two mysterious men who inquire about him. A violent battle erupts aboard the vessel in the harbor—multiple men shot and killed—with combatants swimming away before authorities arrive. The magistrate discovers no ship's papers and eleven bodies. Other featured stories include "Fight" by Robert Carse, "Don Manuel's Sons" by Clements Ripley, "When The Silence Spoke" by William Ashley Anderson, W. C. Tuttle's novelette "The Valley of Lost Herds," and continuing serials including "Wastrel" and "A New Found World." Additional content features advice on outdoor activities and reader correspondence.
