Adventure Magazine Cover, April 1916

About this issue

This issue contains two complete works: George Rothwell Brown's "Days of Morgan," a pirate adventure set on the Spanish Main during England's colonial era, featuring action, romance, and a British heroine forced to fight the man she loves; and William West's "The Trap," a prize-ring novelette exploring a pugilist's psychology and desperate struggle against obsolescence. The magazine also includes nine shorter works by established adventure writers: J. Allan Dunn's "The Crowing Hens of Totulu" (satire on feminism in the Pacific); Frederick William Wallace's "Dory-Mates" (rivalry among Newfoundland fishermen); Hugh S. Fullerton's "Ole Lekker's Ride" (Great Lakes frontier); Samuel Alexander White's "The Relocation of Montana Creek" (gold rush competition); and stories by E. Richard Schayer, M. S. Wightman, C. Hilton-Turvey, and George L. Catton, alongside William Patterson White's continuing serial "Paradise Bend." The Camp-Fire reader section concludes the issue.
