SYNOPSIS

In 1842, a British patrol ship, the Lion's Whelp, captures slave ship commanded by Captain Nuggin Taylor and his mate, Powdah. The two 'refute to tell what happened to their black cargo. They are strung up on the yardarm by their thumbs. Lieutenant Tarryton of Her Majesty's Navy is especially tough with the prisoners. But Taylor knows that Tarryton is in league with the slave symulicate -and tells him so.

These reports had been received with scepticism in India and other countries, especially as natives who had seen the footprints believed that they had been made by the legendary "abominable snowman,"

Mr. Smythe, who has just returned from another visit to the Himalayas, said in a broadenst in Calcutta that he himself had seen these footprints. They were nine inches wide and many feet apart,

When he first saw them he was 'nstonished. He had never seen any- thing like them before.

Although he had never heard of rizzles in those parts, there was reason why some such animal, unknown to man, should not exist there. He had spent several days following the tracks, but had not caught up with the animal.

He took photographs and careful measurements of the footprints and had sent them to London.
