Dunn - J. Allan

Joseph Allan Elphinstone Dunn (1872–1941)

Desperate Passages – Three stories of the South Seas, treachery, kidnapping, and pearls.

The Petals of Lao-Tze – The eighth “petal”, is the final piece needed to recreate the complete golden talisman that is said to have given Lao-Tze long life, perhaps even immortality. Retrieving it from a dead man deep in the Himalayas is the easy part. Bringing it back to a wealthy benefactor is another story.

There was real trouble at Tres Piños and Slim Marvin rode plumb into it. But Slim was not the sort to mind trouble in a good cause. And he got it. Night raiders, cattle rustlers, bad men, and all their assorted villainies.

The Treasure of Atlantis – A dying man, a hunter of rare orchids, returns from an expedition to Brazil and tells Stanley Morse of visions of a lost city deep in the jungles near the headwaters of the Amazon. Could it be the fabled city of Atlantis?
