"A job on a Spanish trading vessel, plying between the Canaries and the west African coast, which leads into a dangerous smuggling game - and the wiles of another girl.
"The question of whether to choose fortune or honor - or how to gain both.
"These are the elements - the man, the place and the problem - which go to make the plot of Bindloss' new novel of the Gold Coast. It is a story full of action and daring in a glowing, tropical setting. The author's own zest for adventure and his first-hand knowledge of men and of the fields of adventure he uses as settings for his stories, make them unique in fact as well as in fiction appeal."
