From the original book description:
'A sailor with an Irishman's yearning for the hills stood braced against a San Francisco bar. The air was electric with the talk of gold and Nevada. Fifteen months later this seagoing prospector and an Albino mule had made a ten strike-two years later a fortune had slipped through his hands'.

ARTHUR MASON was born in Ireland in 1876. ¬The sea was in his blood. He shipped before the mast, and by the time he was twenty-five he was master of sail. He had been shipwrecked and had rounded the Horn eleven times. In spite of his love of the sea, he was lured from it more than once to go prospecting for gold.Mr. Mason is the author of The Flying Bosun, The Cook and the Captain Bold, Salt Horse, Swansea Dan, The Wee Men of Ballywooden, From the Horn of the Moon, The Fossil Fountain, The Roving Lobster, and Wide Seas and Many Lands.
