[Transcriber's Notes:
This book contains a number of misprints.
The following misprints have been corrected:
[and the puzzle is, What] -->
[and the puzzle is, what]
[asked Hicks, knocking] -->
[asked Hinks, knocking] (*)
[immesiately stopped the engine] -->
[immediately stopped the engine]
[Do you think they heard the shot on board the 'Fortuna'!] -->
[Do you think they heard the shot on board the 'Fortuna'?]
[A Tale of the East Cost] -->
[A Tale of the East Coast]
*) The name "Hinks" occurs 8 times in the text, "Hicks"
just once. Also from the surrounding text it becomes clear
that it must be "Hinks"
An Illustrations-list has been added after the Contents-list.
A few illustrations didn't have a description. A description has
been provided by the transcriber to make reference to it possible.
To distinguish them from the other illustrations, the description
is put in lower-case.
Several illustrations depict tables with numbers. These
tables are converted to text in the plain text version.
There are two "misprints" in the illustrations depicting tables:
1) The illustration of the unsolved cipher should show an extra
seconds-mark. You can see this by comparing it with the
illustration of the solved cipher, where you see the extra
seconds-mark next to the second degrees-mark.
2) The solved cipher shows totals in the top-row and the last column
on the right. The total in the top-row, 6th square, should be "191"
instead of "19".
