1st edition, 1st impression. 206pp. Red cloth boards, a little faded at edges. Internally neat, bright, tight and clean. In its original pictorial dust jacket, artwork by Bowe (rubbed at edges, chapped along lower edge, a couple of nicks and visible shelf wear on verso). Hard to find first edition, although there was a later reprint, with a different dust jacket which is a little more common. A gripping sea adventure story. 12mo
