Nyoka the Jungle Girl #52

Two murderous escaped prisoners hijack Larry Grayson's ship, the Adventurer, forcing him to sail toward a deserted island where they've hidden a fortune in gold—but Nyoka, rescued from the river after being thrown overboard by the fugitives, is racing against time in a plane to reach the vessel before the criminals can carry out their deadly plan. This thrilling jungle adventure pits the fearless Nyoka against cunning enemies in a desperate race across the South Pacific.

Nyoka accepts Trader Tom's offer of a free motorboat ride, only to discover that his generous gesture comes with a clever—and decidedly self-serving—catch. This lighthearted romp shows just how far the crafty trader will go to turn a profit, even on his own hospitality.

Nyoka races to rescue her friend Larry, whose life hangs in the balance aboard a burning boat—but first she must contend with a ruthless gang that's hijacked the vessel as part of a scheme to raid buried treasure on a nearby naval base. As the navy launches a rescue mission, Nyoka makes a desperate gamble to reach Larry before the flames consume the ship, unaware of the greater danger closing in on the island.

When Egbert the Explorer is asked for seasickness advice by Chalmers, the seasoned traveler offers up a remedy that's equal parts confident and completely baffling—a tight collar. This lighthearted one-pager plays on the absurdity of taking travel wisdom from someone whose solution might be less cure than it is punchline.

Nyoka finds herself in a deadly race against escaped prisoners who've hidden stolen gold on a remote island—and she'll have to slip past armed enemies and a ticking threat to prevent their escape. With Larry waiting for her signal from the launch, Nyoka must outwit the fugitives and recover the treasure before they vanish into the jungle.
