Mr. Oppenheim's new story is a narrative of mystery and internationalintrigue that carries the reader breathless from page to page. It is thetale of the secret and world-startling methods employed by the Emperorof Japan through Prince Maiyo, his close kinsman, to ascertain the realreasons for the around-the-world cruise of the American fleet. TheAmerican Ambassador in London and the Duke of Denvenham, an influentialEnglishman, work hand in hand to circumvent the Oriental plot, whichproceeds mysteriously to the last page. From the time when Mr. HamiltonFynes steps from the _Lusitania_ into a special tug, in his mad rushtowards London, to the very end, the reader is carried from deep mysteryto tense situations, until finally the explanation is reached in a mostunexpected and unusual climax.
