About this issue

"The Heritage of Hatred," a romance serialized in this Beadle & Adams weekly (April 6, 1881), follows a young corsair leader conducting a nighttime raid on a West Indian hacienda. Accompanied by armed buccaneers, he infiltrates Don Ivan Enderos's estate after receiving a bugle signal from confederate Don Manuel Hernandez, a Spanish captain seeking revenge against Don Ivan for executing nine of his crew. The corsair's team enters through secret passages to plunder gold and jewels from vaults while servants sleep. However, Don Ivan's beautiful daughter Stella Enderos discovers them armed and confronts the chief with a pistol. When she faints upon learning he is a pirate, the alarm sounds as Spanish cavalry approaches from a nearby fort. The corsair orders his men to abandon the treasure and retreat to their anchored schooner, while he covers their escape. Don Hernandez is revealed as a traitor who has fled. The raid culminates in combat and a desperate retreat to the vessel as soldiers approach.
