{"product_id":"2940013083547","title":"A DESERT DRAMA","description":"CHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe public may possibly wonder why it is that they have never heard in\u003cbr\u003ethe papers of the fate of the passengers of the __Korosko__. In these\u003cbr\u003edays of universal press agencies, responsive to the slightest stimulus,\u003cbr\u003eit may well seem incredible that an international incident of such\u003cbr\u003eimportance should remain so long unchronicled. Suffice it that there\u003cbr\u003ewere very valid reasons, both of a personal and political nature, for\u003cbr\u003eholding it back. The facts were well known to a good number of people at\u003cbr\u003ethe time, and some version of them did actually appear in a provincial\u003cbr\u003epaper, but was generally discredited They have now been thrown into\u003cbr\u003enarrative form, the incidents having been collated from the sworn\u003cbr\u003estatements of Colonel Cochrane Cochrane, of the Army and Navy Club,\u003cbr\u003eand from the letters of Miss Adams, of Boston, Mass. These have been\u003cbr\u003esupplemented by the evidence of Captain Archer, of the Egyptian Camel\u003cbr\u003eCorps, as given before the secret Government inquiry at Cairo. Mr. James\u003cbr\u003eStephens has refused to put his version of the matter into writing,\u003cbr\u003ebut as these proofs have been submitted to him, and no correction or\u003cbr\u003edeletion has been made in them, it may be supposed that he has not\u003cbr\u003esucceeded in detecting any grave misstatement of fact, and that any\u003cbr\u003eobjection which he may have to their publication depends rather upon\u003cbr\u003eprivate and personal scruples.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079265566960,"sku":"2940013083547","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013083547_p0.jpg?v=1763576535","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013083547","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
