THE MAGNET LIBRARY · Issue 818 · 13/10/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d DISGRACED BY HIS FATHER! by Frank Richards (Noel Wood-Smith) · Illustrator: Unknown Other content: To and from Your Editor (ed.); The Greyfriars Herald; The Brotherhood of the White Heather by Anon. Notes: At Greyfriars School, Dick Russell is one of the poorer pupils until his father suddenly gets a job as secretary to an immensely wealthy man named Gordon Gummer. Mr Russell receives a huge salary in return for looking after important documents and Dick receives plenty of pocket money for the next two weeks. But then the flow of cash stops and Dick's father vanishes. When the lad goes home to find him, he finds the police instead. His father is a wanted man! He is accused of embezzlement and treason for selling government documents to foreign powers. A shocked Dick Russell returns to school and there has to endure the taunts of the bullies. This becomes so bad that, eventually, he decides that the situation must be brought to a head — his father must be caught and must answer to his crimes. So, accompanied by Harry Wharton and a small group of friends, he journeys to London and employs the help of Sexton Blake. The detective searches Mr Russell's house and finds clues which suggest that the fugitive is hiding out somewhere near Greyfriars. Meanwhile, back in that town, Billy Bunter has wandered down to the coast ands has encountered Blake's quarry on a beach. He is persuaded by the man that the treason charges are all a part of a government mission which Bunter will ruin if he talks. But, of course, when Bunter meets Blake back at the school he can't control his mouth and blurts out the truth. Mr Russell is duly caught and sent for trial where he is completely exonerated — it turns out that Gummer was the villain and Russell had driven him from the country; but Gummer's servant had stolen the evidence — which was then recovered by Sexton Blake. Trivia: A rather extraordinary event this — the one and only time Sexton Blake crossed into the world of Billy Bunter and Greyfriar's. Usually, when the adventures of Wharton & Co. required the presence of an investigator, Ferrers Locke would be the detective of choice. However, in this issue there is an installment of a Ferrers Locke serial which finds him in Russia. Since he couldn't be in two places at once, an alternative was required, thus the presence of Sexton Blake. Rating:

THE SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY · 1st series · Issue 307 · Nov. 1923 · Amalgamated Press · 4d THE CRIMSON BELT by Anon. (George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: Arthur Jones Other content: The Human Side of Crime (article) Notes: Doctor Huxton Rymer and his companion Mary Trent stumble upon the scene of a murder. A man named James Townshend has been killed by Chinamen who seek possession of a map he keeps in his crimson-coloured belt. Rymer makes off with the belt and some documents. Meanwhile, Townshend's daughter, Sylvia, engages Sexton Blake. Her father, she explains, had been entrusted with jewels by descendants of the Manchu dynasty plus evidence pertaining to the correct line of descent, all of which he had buried in Australia. The map is the only clue to the treasure's whereabouts. When Blake and Tinker investigate the scene of the murder, Tinker gets onto the trail of one of the Chinamen and is led to Prince Wu Ling, the head of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Beetle. After narrowly escaping an attack by Wu Ling's henchman, San, Tinker reports back to Baker Street where Blake deduces that this affair is a three-cornered fight which will inevitably lead to Australia. Furthermore, he soon finds evidence that Huxton Rymer and Mary Trent occupy one corner of the triangle. Now all parties set sail for the southern continent; Blake, Tinker and Sylvia Townshend with Mademoiselle Yvonne aboard the Fleur-de-Lys, her yacht. Upon arrival, Blake is approached by Mary Trent who tells him that Rymer has been kidnapped by Wu Ling and will be killed unless she delivers the map. She begs Blake to act as go-between and rescue the doctor. He agrees to this but falls into a trap; Rymer and Wu Ling have actually joined forces. Blake's life is saved by Yvonne and Tinker who, suspeecting that all is not as it seems, gather a force of men to rescue the detective. Tinker shoots Wu Ling in the shoulder and all the criminals are captured (though they are later — and rather inexplicably — released). Finally, the treasure is recovered and Blake becomes its guardian. Trivia: Sexton Blake insists that he has no middle name. This conflicts with the final ever edition of The Sexton Blake Library series 4 — THE LAST TIGER — in which is published a personal message of farewell from 'Sexton T. Blake'. However, there is a P.S. to the letter in which the detective writes: 'Hah—that middle initial was something I always managed to keep to myself.'... so maybe he was simply fibbing in this story? This tale was reprinted under the same title in THE SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY 2nd series issue 463 (1935). Rating:

(Unknown) · Illustrator: Unknown Other content: Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: This is a direct sequel to THE DIAMOND SPECIAL (UNION JACK 1,001, 1922). Sexton Blake and Tinker have returned to Cairo in the guise of a seditious carpet weaver named Ben Zukur and his son. Through means of a young army officer named Captain Cedric Dunn, the detective is seeking more information about Prince Hamad and his anti-English activities. Hamad is working with The Three Musketeers, who Blake is trying to capture after they performed two diamond heists in Paris. Ben Zukur's outspoken opposition to British rule soon brings him to the prince's attention and the carpet weaver is invited to join Hamad's secret organisation. He accepts the offer and is given his first assignment; to spy on Captain Dunn and discover whether he has anything in his past which can be used against him. At the same time, the prince sends a Greek woman, Madame Soukolis, to seduce the Captain. She makes the mistake of assuming that Dunn has been ejected from the army (else why is he living a leisurely life in Egypt?) and he plays along with her by pretending to be angry with the British authorities. Thinking that he might join their cause, Soukolis arranges for Dunn to meet Hamad. This appointment coincides with a meeting between Hamad, the Musketeers and Ben Zukur. The Englishmen use the opportunity to try to capture their enemies. Throwing off his disguise, Blake pulls a gun and a ferocious firefight ensues. Nearly all parties are injured (the detective takes a bullet in the artery of his arm) but, ultimately, the villains escape and flee from the city... leaving their haul of diamonds behind. Rating:

Other content: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: This tale introduces two new characters who will make regular appearances in the Blake saga: Gilbert and Eileen Hale. Lord Witham, Chairman of the Armdale-Witham Engineering Company, and the inventor, Chilvers, arrive by plane at London airport. Upon departure from the aircraft, Chilvers realises that he has been robbed of a small box containing pellets of a substance he's invented which will lead to the development of a new type of turbine engine. The thief is a fellow passenger, a young woman named Eileen Hale, who surreptitiously hides the box in a nearby car's radiator. Witham employs Sexton Blake to recover it. The detective soon gets onto the trail of the girl and her husband, Gilbert, and follows them to Sheffield where, unfortunatly, they drop out of sight. Discovering that the plans of the turbine engine have been stolen from Witham's foundry but that one vital page was left behind, Blake and Tinker sign on as employees working on a 'secret project'. This, they hope, will attract the attention of the thieves. A man named Gant starts to spy on them and, later, Tinker catches sight of him in the company of a Japanese man, Dr Yorima Kamura. These two try, but fail, to recover the lost page. The next day, Tinker assists a man named Colonel Elliott whose car has broken down. He is invited to Elliott's home and there finds two house guests — the Hales! They are civil during his visit but when he leaves they realise that he has taken possession of the pellets. They catch up with him, take him prisoner, and are joined by Kamura and Gant who torture the lad to find out where he's hidden the pellets. However, the Hales object to this and the gang members begin to fight with each other. At that moment, Blake and the police arrive and the criminals scramble out of the window and race away. Though the gang isn't captured, all the stolen materials are recovered. Trivia: Tinker's age is given as 'about eighteen'. Blake has an agent named Manning who works for him in Sheffield. Rating:

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 1,018 · 14/4/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d THE SCEPTRE OF SOLOMON by Anon. (George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: H. M. Lewis Other content: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: A millionaire art collector named Mathew Cardolak commissions the Three Musketeers to steal a gem-encrusted sceptre from an isolated tribe of jews who live in a remote region of India. Cardolak hates jews (even though his mother was jewish) and wants to deprive the race of this artifact which, according to legend, will one day signify their return to Palestine. The Musketeers succeed in their mission, replacing the sceptre with an imitation. They then escape aboard Cardolak's luxury yacht, the Sultan. Some months later, the theft is discovered and a Rabbi commissions Sexton Blake to recover the sceptre. Already suspecting the Musketeers, Blake and Tinker travel to New York where they meet up with the detective's American agent, Bryant Kennedy. The three then set off for Boston where Cardolak's yacht is harboured. En route, they are nearly killed when their car is forced off the road by the Musketeers. However, they survive and finish their journey. Hiring a submarine and a crew of bootleggers, they attack the Sultan, recover the sceptre and capture the Three Musketeers. Cardolak, however, is not aboard and remains free. Trivia: This story seems to have been finished in a hurry. There are elements introduced in the early chapters which are left unresolved. For example, the criminals are helped by a native boy who they then kidnap to prevent him from talking. We never learn what becomes of him. Also, Blake takes the imitation sceptre with him to America. Why? We never find out. The racist overtones of this tale make for uncomfortable reading. There is an astonishingly bigoted (by current standards) statement made by Blake: "As you know, I am not anxious to take cases from the Jewish race, for the simple reason that they usually have to do with financial matters along lines which I do not approve."

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 1,022 · 12/5/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d THE CASE OF THE CRIMSON CURTAIN by Anon. (George N. Philips) · Illustrator: Unknown Other content: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: This is billed as a tale of Zenith the Albino, so it comes as a complete disappointment to find that he has just one scene. Add to this a downright rude and charmless Sexton Blake and you're left with little to admire. Two scenes save this issue. In the first, Blake takes on a heavyweight champion boxer. The fight is brutal in the extreme and the detective has his lights punched out... but not before he gives as good as he gets. He wins the fight but doesn't stay conscious long enough to realise it. When he eventually staggers to his feet, his lips are split and bleeding, his eye is black and swollen, and he feels like he's been hit by a train. It's very satisfying to witness a realistic and savage fight from which Blake emerges much scathed when usually he just dusts himself off and continues on his way without any consequences. This time, his battered ribs are giving him grief for a good few paragraphs after the event. The second excellent scene is very eerie. A criminal-scientist (Blake's main opponent rather than Zenith) is standing behind a red curtain which divides a room. The detective draws it aside and looks into a room bathed in crimson light apart from a white spotlight shining on the villain's face. As Blake enters, he finds himself slowing down, having difficulty moving and breathing. The struggle that follows is thrilling, though the eventual explanation is absurd in the extreme. But none of this compensates for the fact that this is a confused and irritating story which throws in Zenith merely for novelty value. It gives Leon Kestrel, the Master Mummer, a similar one-scene walk-on too, but he doesn't even get front-page billing. Rating:  Obviously an off-day for George N. Philips.

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 1,023 · 19/5/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d THE TABU OF CONFUCIUS by Anon. (George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: Val Reading Other content: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: In San Francisco, Prince Wu Ling organises a raid on the House of the Silver Moon, the headquarters of Hsui-fsi, otherwise known as Sir Gordon Saddler. One of his henchmen breaks the tabu of Confucius (which has protected the Ling-tse vase since THE THOUSANDTH CHANCE UNION JACK issue 1,000, 1922) and makes away with the sacred artifact. Saddler calls Sexton Blake for help. Blake and Tinker voyage to America, narrowly avoiding assassination attempts from the Brotherhood of the Golden Beetle while en route. Blake then travels by yacht — Tinker by car — from New York down to Mexico, where Wu Ling awaits a ship to take him and the vase to China. When the Chinaman's vessel arrives, he boards it, but so does Tinker. The lad climbs the mast and signals to Blake's yacht, which quickly comes to intercept the criminal. Unfortunately, though, an accident below decks causes an explosion to rip through Wu Ling's vessel. With a number of craft coming to aid the sinking yacht, Wu Ling is able to escape in the confusion. Trivia: Blake's American agent, Bryant Kennedy receives a mention. Rating:

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 1,026 · 9/6/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d THE SLAVE OF THE THIEVES' MARKET by Anon. (George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: Val Reading Other content: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson; Detective Magazine Supplement Notes: This is the second story in the history of the Ling-tse Vase. Shortly after the events of THE TABU OF CONFUCIUS, Sexton Blake and Tinker are guests of Colonel Fairfax and are fishing off the coast of California. Blake catches a huge tarpon which Chan, one of the Colonel's Chinese 'boys', guts. Blake, who is watching, catches a glimpse of something in the fish's stomach which he afterwards realises was the Ling-tse vase. This had been considered lost at sea after the detective's previous encounter with Prince Wu Ling. When Blake returns to recover the artifact, he finds that Chan has fled with it. Communicating with Sir Gordon Saddler, Blake learns that Chan works for Chuen-to-yan of the Temple of Eternal Light, one of the three contenders for rulership of China — the others being Wu Ling and Sir Gordon himself, in his guise of Hsui-fsi. Blake agrees to travel to China with Sir Gordon in pursuit of Chan. The following November finds the two men and Tinker in Canton. After learning that Wu Ling is to meet with Chuen-to-yan in a temple beyond the infamous Thieves' Market, Blake sets Tinker to watch his movements. Unfortunately, Tinker is spotted, captured and destined to be sold as a slave in the Thieves' Market. Sir Gordon gathers his forces and, led by Blake, they raid the market and rescue Tinker, who has been flogged by his captors. The following night, Blake and Saddler meet with Wu Ling and Chuen-to-yan on neutral ground; in a temple in which violence is forbidden. Saddler asks to examine the Ling-tse vase and his wish is granted. With a slip of the hand, he attaches the small artifact to the leg of a homing pigeon which he has secreted up his sleeve. Wu Ling and Chuen-to-yan look on helplessly as the bird flies away. Adhering to the rules of the temple, they are forced to allow Blake and Saddler to leave unmolested. Trivia: Tinker is said to have close-cropped dark hair which he disguises with a blonde wig while trailing Wu Ling. Usually, he is described as having blonde hair. Sexton Blake's extansive jade collection receives another mention. Rating:

(George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: Eric Parker Other content: The Wire Devils by Frank L. Packard; Detective Magazine Supplement. Notes: In America, rogue millionaire Mathew Cardolak hires a couple of bootleggers, brothers Mike Twin Daly and Jack Twin Daly, to break The Three Musketeers out of prison. The mission is successful and Cardolak transports Algy Somerton, Archie Pherison and Reggie Fetherston to France in his yacht, the Sultan. He commissions them to steal the famous Louis Ostensoir from Notre Dame cathedral. The three crooks develop a clever scheme which involves one of them posing as a crippled friar to transport the priceless relic out of the cathedral under his robes. The heist succeeds but there is an unexpected development in the form of Tinker, who is outside the cathedral with Sexton Blake and who notices the strange-looking monk. When the robbery comes to light, Tinker pieces together the clues and alerts Blake to the fact that the Musketeers are behind the theft. The detective and his assistant join with the French river police as they search for the trio who are known to be escaping on a motor boat. When they reach a small island, they are ambushed by the Musketeers and a vicious gun battle commences. Blake is scraped by a bullet and falls unconscious into the police launch. The vessel is then stolen by Archie and Algy who don police uniforms in order to fool the other search parties. When they find Blake in the boat, they try to kill him but the resultant fight is so fierce that the launch is damaged and sinks. Meanwhile, on the island, the police recover the stolen Ostensoir. They then speed upriver in the motor boat originally used by the crooks and find Blake unconscious in the river. Reggie escapes overland and makes his way back to the Sultan where he is later reunited with his two comrades. Trivia: Tinker describes Blake's Baker Street rooms as being "stuffed with dusty old rubbish". Rating:

UNION JACK · New series · Issue 1,048 · 10/11/1923 · Amalgamated Press · 2d THE BLACK EAGLE by Anon. (George Hamilton Teed) · Illustrator: Eric Parker (cover) and Val Reading (interior) Other content: The Wire Devils by Frank L. Packard; Detective Magazine Supplement. Notes: Artist David Stone is a man who possesses extraordinary physical strength. He also lives a double life. By day he works as a cabinet-maker, using the alias 'A. Long'. On Saturday nights he goes to his strangely designed house off Edgware Road — where lives his misshapen brother — and he changes into evening clothes. He then proceeds to a secret gambling club, where he and the other members wear masks to keep their identity secret. On the night this story begins, he is casually noticed by Sexton Blake, who is also in the club. Had the detective followed Stone when he leaves, he would have witnessed him breaking the neck of a fellow club member named Geoffrey Howland. Next morning, the death is reported as an accident. The detective receives a visit from a man named Bramwell Chester, who claims that Howland was murdered and the same fate awaits him. He tells how twenty years ago he and Howland were part of a wild group who lived in the Latin Quarter of Paris. One night, one of the group, John Hasford, had been arrested for the murder of a model, Helene Merchardier. The rest of the group — Joe Thurlston, Ricardo Gospert, Freddie Buckford (now Lord Baymore), and another model, Camille Desmoulins — believed his claims of innocence but conspired against him. He was sentenced to a life term on Devil's Island, where he became known as the Black Eagle. Now, Chester has heard that Hasford escaped from the penal colony six months ago. He also informs Blake that Gispert and Thurlston have recently been killed and they, Buckford, Howland and Chester, all received notes stating that H is free — the guilty shall pay. Blake investigates and realises that Hasford and Stone are one and the same. He goes to Paris and finds Camille Desmoulins in the beggars' quarter. She is a drug-addled wreck and confesses to the murder of Helene Merchardier. Returning to Baker Street, the detective finds himself confronted by Stone. He tells him that he's discovered the truth and that the years on Devil's Island were unjustified. He allows Stone to go free. Trivia: Twenty years ago is referred to as 'the early days' of Blake's career. His detective agency is now a 'vast International network'. Mrs Bardell has 'relatives' who live on the other side of London. The Grey Pather is driven in this story. Rating:
