Attractive issue of this adventure weekly. Chromolithograph front wrapper shows a ship's captain with one hand on the wheel gazes with alarm over his ship at a stormy lake, a sailboat perilously close to his bow. Caption below reads: "Leon saw a rakish schooner flit by. He gasped and held his breath. There came a shock and a long-continued grind as the bow of the Sprite scraped more than half the length of the schooner, which then darted out of sight." Fun and colorful front wrapper graphics. A far better than average dime novel (actually, "Price 5 Cents") or "penny dreadful," with text printed in two columns.
