Adventure Magazine, July 1916

This issue of Adventure (July 1916) contains primarily fiction in the adventure and commercial genres. The featured novel is J. Allan Dunn's "Beyond the Rim," a complete South Seas story involving pearl-hunting and maritime mystery.

Fullerton's "Cassidy's Consolation Kick" (ice fishing on Lake Michigan); "The Education of Billy Stream" by Frederick William Wallace (Newfoundland fishing markets); and "To Crack a Safe" by Terence and Patrick Casey (California hobo narrative).
