Summary
This issue of a monthly magazine of original short stories opens with publishing and copyright notices, followed by an advertisement-filled front matter. The fiction text begins in San Francisco at the Bohemian Club, where three men watch a police escort of handcuffed Chinese men accused of opium smuggling. One man then starts telling an adventure set in Jerusalem’s ancient underground caverns, where an explorer and his dragoman guide venture into the tunnels and face danger as the guide refuses to go farther.
