2 y separately published work icon Captain Bill Ernest Osborne , 1938 single work novel

It is a fast-moving and exciting story of "rum running" at the time of prohition in the United States, written by a man who is clearly conversant with the seas and of the ways of rum runners in eluding Customs men, both at sea and on land.

The story moves rapidly from the United States to Europe and back, and there is an unusual love interest, for the girl who acts as informer, both against her father's investments in this trade and against "Captain Bill," has more affection for Bill than she cares to admit.
