_Author of “The Wife of the Secretary of State” and “Poketown People.”_
This is not, as the title might suggest, a tale of daring deeds on
the deep, but a blithesome story of the adventures of three American
girls while spending their summer vacation on a Canadian island. They
become involved in a series of strange happenings by a band of clever
smugglers who pose as their friends, using them as a blind in their
smuggling operations. There is a pretty love story interwoven with
mystery, adventure, and humor, that holds the reader’s interest from
cover to cover.
“The characters are mightily convincing, and the rapid-action plot
makes the most indifferent reader ‘sit up’ until he has devoured the
last word.”--_Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va._
“A happy blending of Stocktonesque humor and Anna Katherine Green
mystery.”--_New York Globe._
“A brightly written story for those who like light and agreeable
fiction that is free from coarseness.”--_Boston Budget and Beacon._
