Adventure Magazine, October 1915

# Catalog Note: Adventure Magazine, October 1915

This issue presents a mix of war fiction and adventure tales. The lead novelette, "Lieutenant Tony Mallagh" by W. Townend, depicts a World War I subaltern in the South Irish regiment—described as a twenty-six-year-old officer of modest means but considerable bravery and sporting prowess who remains unflinching in combat. The issue also features "The Whaler," a complete novelette by Frederick William Wallace about an Atlantic whaling vessel's final voyage, told by an author with seafaring experience. "Beyond the Law" by Jackson Gregory follows two men searching for gold in the American West. Additional stories include "The Oath by the Earth" by Gordon McCreagh (featuring photographs of Burma, India, and Tibet elephants and ferries), "Hard Rock" by Grinnell Furthmann (mining labor), "Gold at Sea" (modern piracy), and "Chiquita of the Legion" featuring the French Foreign Legion in North Africa. The issue emphasizes masculine adventure across military, maritime, and frontier settings.
