Blake: Aubrey Dexter, Ezra Q. Maitland and Hon. John Lawless make their debuts. The Council of Eleven gathers to plan its first crime. According to SEXTON BLAKE'S SECRET in DETECTIVE WEEKLY issue 1 (1933), in the Spring of this year, Blake travels to West Africa and visits his brother Nigel (this probably occurred around the same time as the events recounted in SEXTON BLAKE IN TOGOLAND, UNION JACK issue 577). | |

THE PENNY POPULAR · Vol. 3 Issue 66 · 10/1/1914 · Amalgamated Press · 1d THE HAUNTED PRIORY by Anon. (Original version by William Shaw Rae) · Illustrator: Harry Lane Other content: A Surprise for St. Jim's! by Martin Clifford; Pete's Arrest! by S. Clarke Hook. Notes: This is an abridged reprint of UNION JACK first series issue 250 THE GHOST OF STRANDGAP PRIORY (1899). It replaces We-wee with Tinker. Stanley Strand has inherited Strandgap Priory only to find that it's haunted and he can't get any staff. He appeals for Sexton Blake's help. Blake and Tinker take up residence in the priory and, before many hours have passed, the detective is warned away by a ghostly figure. The next day, Squire Roscar, who lives nearby, suggests that Blake, Tinker and Strand come to stay with him. They politely decline. He also reveals that there have been a number of burglaries in the area; a fact of great interest to Blake. The following night, the ghost appears again and Blake, while chasing it, plummets over a cliff and falls into the sea. Swimming ashore, he climbs the cliff and rests on a ledge. Meanwhile, Tinker has discovered a secret passage which leads to hidden rooms carved into the rock beneath the priory. One of these opens onto the ledge, where Tinker finds Blake. Investigating the rooms further, they discover ghostly shrouds and luminous paints... the materials by which a man can be made up as a ghost. When the apparition next appears, Blake pursues it. The villain abandons his shrouds and takes to horseback. The detective gives chase on a bicycle (this scene really dates the tale, seeming much more a part of 1899 - when the original version was written - than 1914). He loses his quarry but, in the morning, is able to identify the criminal. The latter has been using the secret chambers to store the proceeds of the burglaries and used the 'ghost' to keep people away. Blake sets a trap and the villain pays the ultimate price for his crimes. Rating: An average tale; not particularly memorable but entertaining enough. The bicycle v. horse chase is the deifinite highlight!

Briscoe Other content: Mike Langton's Vow by Anon.; A Word from the Skipper (ed.) Notes: Nathan Waldervell, one of the richest men in America, is en route to England where he intends to fake his own death in order to influence the stock market. During the voyage, he promises Professor Kew a share of the profit in return for his help in arranging a convincing demise. Kew agrees and soon has the millionaire holed up in a monastery from whence his death and burial is subsequently reported. Some days later, Sexton Blake is visited by Waldervell's business partner who is suspicious of the millionaire's apparent death. The detective agrees to investigate and travels to the monestary. Staying there overnight, he recognises Kew who, in turn, makes an attempt on his life, which seems to succeed. With the professor believing him dead, the detective dons the garb of a monk and blends into the daily life of the monestary. When Tinker arrives to join his master, he is captured by Waldervell, who is also disguised as one of the monks. Blake comes to the rescue and Waldervell is brought to the ground by Pedro. The criminals' scheme is exposed but Blake can't press charges without bringing the monestary into disrepute; something he has promised not to do. Kew and Waldervell walk free. Rating:

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 544 · 14/3/1914 · Amalgamated Press · 1d THE DEATH CYLINDER by Anon. (Andrew Murray) · Illustrator: Unknown Other content: A Question of Duty by Lewis Carlton. Notes: In the coastal village of St. Anton, Dan Tremar lives in dire poverty with his wife, Mary. Dan's socialist politics have made him virtually unemployable and so, in desperation, he accepts a commission from a secret brotherhood headed by Professor Kew to murder a rich American named Walter Bargrave. Unknown to Dan, Bargrave has employed Sexton Blake to trace his long lost English niece — and Mary is that person! While Dan travels to London to perform the evil deed, Blake journeys to St. Anton and meets with Mary. At the Tremars' cottage, he is surprised to find a photograph of Bargrave hidden in Dan's room. He is even more surprised when he sees Kew at the local railway station. He follows him but is spotted by the criminal. Kew is with Raymond Bargrave, Walter's stepson, who is the motivating force behind the plot to murder the millionaire. Bargrave senior's death would mean that he, Raymond, would inherit the fortune rather than it going to Mary. Knowing that Blake stands in the way of the scheme, Raymond attempts to kill him but, of course, fails. Tinker traces Dan Tremar to a flat above that in which Walter Bargrave is lodging. When Raymond visits his father to persuade him to change his will, he is shocked to find that he is, in fact, speaking to a disguised Sexton Blake. The detective ties him up and leaves him on the bed. Tinker witnesses Tremar exposing a hole in the floor leading through to the flat below, above the bed in which Raymond lies. Tremar opens a small cyclinder and from it empties a deadly spider through the hole. Kew arrives at the upper flat; Walter Bargrave at the lower. After Blake destroys the spider, Raymond is revealed to have lost his mind from fear. The two parties meet in a desperate tussle. Kew and Tremar are captured and Kew is sentenced to six years imprisonment at Port Vale Gaol (where he immediately recognises Count Ivor Carlac). Dan Tremar is released, having been judged to have been tricked by Kew. Rating:
