The Saint of the Speedway

Excerpt from The Saint of The Speedway If the reader will cast a thought back to the classic sea mystery of the Marie Celeste it will be clear how much this book owes its inception to the extraordinary derelict the mystery of which remains unsolved to this day. But the author disclaims any attempt in the following pages to offer a solution of the mystery and has only used certain of the features surrounding the condition of the Marie Celeste at the time she was found abandoned in mid-ocean for the purposes of his story-narrative.
