Born at sea in 1881 (his mother traveled with his father who was a sea captain), Charles Beadle was a novelist and pulp fiction writer, best known for his adventure stories in American pulp magazines, and for his novels of the bohemian life in Paris. He left home as a teen-ager to travel and work in South Africa, East Africa, Rhodesia and Morocco. In 1918, Beadle sailed to New York City, where he established himself as a pulp adventure writer, publishing authentic stories of Africa for Adventure, Argosy, Short Stories, The Frontier, etc. He also wrote sea stories. His most successful work was probably Witch-Doctors, a four-part serial in Adventure (issues of March 15 to May 1, 1919), which was published as a book in 1922, both in the U.S. and London. His last published work appeared in 1947, but it is not known when he died. He was also the author of A WHITEMAN'S BURDEN. WITCH DOCORS is a story set in Tanzania near Lake Victoria.
