Indexer Notes

Guardineer has an "illustrated by" credit, plus most illustrations are signed "FBG '37"

The text is printed out of order. This correct order should be:
1) The first 7 paragraphs of Page 3 (through "...informed the captain").
2) All of Page 2.
3) The last paragraph of Page 4 through all of Page 5.
4) Paragraph 8 on Page 3 ("Then a calm steady voice...") to the end of Paragraph 12 on Page 4
("But what is it all about?' Shorty asked.")
5) All of Page 6 through to the end.
