24Captain Dalton Is Captured

All aboard for the transcribed premier production, the crews of the Paul Parrop, that exciting story of whaling days and the search for buried treasure. Captain Roy Dalton and his friends are returning from Ascension Island, with explosives in the hall with which to blow up the landslide which blocks the diamond mine on secret Galto Island,

owned jointly by Ezra Grange and young Johnny Robbins. While on Ascension Island, they surprised a raid on the home of some friends of Captain Dalton by a reckless adventurer named Dirk Briscoe. having been chased off Ascension Island by Captain Dalton, Briscoe and his men are hiding from the authorities on unchartered Galto Island, unknown to our friend. There, Red Mohouli has

told Briscoe of the Diamond deposit, and Briscoe, who had explosives in the hold, has begun to remove the debris which blocks the mind, to seize the diamonds for himself. As the Paul-Powered approaches Galto Island, the sound of explosions is heard, and our friends hastily cast anchor and raw shore. We now find Captain Dalton, Ezra Grange, Dickon,

Johnny Robbins and Sue range ashore, talking over this baffling new problem. Blow me down, Captain Dalton, that it goes again. I, Dickon. There's no mistaking it now. That blaston's coming from the mine. Somebody else is trying to get an hour of diamonds.

But who could it be? There isn't anybody else left on the island since you took all his eke, your kip prisoner. You're forgetting one swab. We've always had to keep a weather eye on Sue. Red Mulhully.

But look here, Captain. I thought you and Dickon saw Mulhully caught in Kip's old cabin when it caught fire and caved in. Mr. Grame, so we did, but we have no proof he was killed.
