# New Story Magazine, Vol. VIII, No. 3, July 1914

This issue contains a mix of adventure stories and shorter fiction. The featured complete novel, "A Discord in Avalon" by H. Bedford-Jones, follows Allan Quentin, a young Los Angeles surgeon traveling to Catalina Island for a fishing trip. On the boat journey, Quentin encounters a woman whose hand he catches reaching toward his coat pocket—a gesture that proves to be based on concerns other than theft.

The lead serial, "The Terror" by John Edward Russell, depicts a South Antarctic treasure-seeking expedition aboard the steamer Colleen Bawn, reviving the historical tradition of South Pacific "Port Boys"—drifters and sea vagabonds. The editors praise Russell's sustained atmospheric tension throughout this eighty-to-one-hundred-thousand-word adventure, comparing it to works by Stevenson and Conrad.

Additional short stories include work by Robert V. Carr, Charles W. Tyler, Charles Wesley Sanders, Arthur Preston Hankins, Edgar Wallace, Charles S. Siegrist, and John Quarlus. "The Open Road" series continues with Hadwig O. Sutcliffe's installment "The Borrowed Horses."
