AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The youthful narrator's attentions to a young lady crossing the Atlantic from Liverpool on the same ship gives him embarrassment when she is exposed as a male bank robber. And the annoying second-class passenger is in fact a police detective who disappears overboard one night - a possible murder victim. Well-controlled narrative voice of youthful naivety. (PB)
