ABOUT BOOK

This collection of absurd and amusing adventures is the sequel to 'The Strange Adventures of Captain Horn'. Mrs. Cliff herself, suddenly in possession of a fortune, presents the phenomenon of a woman unable to spend her income; after dazzling her native town in Maine, she buys a steam-yacht which she dubs 'The Summer Shelter' and invites a Synod to sail with her to the West Indies in lieu of a country week. A very satisfactory antidote to a dull half-hour!
