It contains exciting works of fiction that encompass airships, an escape from the Russian police after a false accusation of being a nihilist, fierce storms and fiercer battles, a deep sea diving expedition in a special suit to the depth of 1000 feet!, and even a fore warning of the Japanese attack on Honolulu and Pearl Harbor!!

Here is an excerpt:
“Bring her about, Mr. Wright, an’ give ’em a broadside,” the Captain ordered.
They were at close quarters now, and the engagement was pretty general. The London poured a deadly broadside into the nearest xebec which made her reel and tremble; but a moment later the response came. There was a rattling of shots and a smashing of wood-work that drowned the moans and cries of the wounded. Orders were flying thick and fast, and Granthan seemed to be everywhere. The tigerish old spirit of the sea-captain was fully aroused. The odds were against him, and he was in his element.
