An Invitation and an Attack (1915)
Young Lord Stranleigh is on his yacht trying to get to a mine that he had purchased in South Africa, ahead of a ship that had been sent there by thieving directors of the company who had the intention of robbing Stranleigh of a cargo of ore. Stranleigh's yacht, being of great speed, rapidly overhauled and passes the Rajah, the steamer in question. Arriving at the mouth of a river, he sailed up stream above where the mine was located, unbeknown to those aboard the Rajah, which arrived later, and anchored at the mine landing, where they had prepared to take the stolen cargo aboard. Meanwhile, Jolson, the agent of the purloining directors, ordered mines to be laid at the mouth of the river to prevent pursuit and destroy any vessel which might attempt to enter the stream. Stranleigh, learning of this, made up his mind to escape from the trap in which he was, and lie in wait for the vessel outside when it came out with the stolen ore. To accomplish this, he had a large quantity of logs float down the stream and these exploded the mines. After this, his yacht slipped out quietly and lie in wait to intercept the Rajah on its return journey.
