A steamer carries Dick Merriwell and his Texan friend Brad up the Bosporus toward Constantinople, mosques and palaces gleaming on either shore. Their tour of the East brings challenges, a night in a cemetery, the sights of Stamboul, a lost boat on a buried lake and a mob howling death to the foreigners, all met with Dick’s cool nerve.
Classic American dime-novel heroics, with the Orientalist colour such adventures carried at the time. Download the free EPUB.
