This issue contains four serialized stories: Gold by Kenneth Perkins (five-part serial, part one) follows the ill-fated crew of the whaling ship Cape Cod in 1847, where superstition and desperation spread among sailors. The narrative opens with the arrival of Priscilla Bartlett, a young woman aboard the vessel, whose presence disturbs the crew. The Rhinestone Helmet by Rebecca N. Porter (three-part serial, part two), The Coast of Blue by Fred MacIsaac (five-part serial, part three), and Whoopee McGee by John Holden (four-part serial, part four) continue ongoing storylines. The novelette Luck of the Border by Charlton L. Edholm completes the fiction, while three short stories by James W. Egan, Ben Conlon, and Albert William Stone round out offerings. Verse contributions include poems by Harvey Kelly Wilson, H. A. Woodbury, and others. Advertisements predominate, featuring employment opportunities, mail-order goods, and a prize puzzle contest.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
