" After questioning Sir Michael he learns that the diamond dealer had sent a valuable item a carved model of an Indian temple by rail to London and was due there to sell it to a millionaire named Hiram Clench this afternoon. Spearing realises that the recent events were all designed to prevent Carruthers from making that afternoon meeting." - mark-hodder blakiana mini_bibliography, accessed August 2021. Other stories in this issue include "Cap'n Tibbs - Coastguard" by Horace J. Simpson; "Andy and the Redskins" by Edgar West; and "The Black Peril" by Cecil Hayter. NB: Content of "The Black Peril" story is offensive by today's standards, and includes lynching. "In this Stirring Story of Adventure, written by one of 'Pluck's' most popular authors, we have a picture of the great racial bitterness which the whites of the Southern States feel for the black men. However, this feeling is not shared by all the American people, because in many cities in the United States some of the most enlightened and energetic citizens are negroes, living in peace and friendship with the whites. Your Editor." - page 18.
