The Mystery
Book Author Stewart Edward White and Samuel Hopkins Adams
DescriptionThe mid-Pacific disappearance of three successive crews from the stout ship "Laughing Lass" is a weird and inscrutable mystery. And in the striving for solution is a story of the most exciting voyage that any man ever undertook.
Stewart Edward White and Samuel Hopkins Adams bring you a tale that is uncharacteristic for both authors — a Mary Celeste-esque sea story that ventures into science-fiction.
A naval vessel discovers a derelict schooner in the south seas. Everything aboard the ship appears and order ... but the craft is completely deserted. The conundrum deepens when not one, but two salvage parties put aboard the craft also disappear.
The answer appears within reach when a survivor from the schooner is found adrift. The survivor gives an account of mutiny, murder, and piracy ... but can only offer hints at an even greater enigma.
