Louis Tracy was a British journalist, and prolific writer of fiction. He used the pseudonyms Gordon Holmes and Robert Fraser, which were at times shared with M. P. Shiel, a collaborator from the start of the twentieth century. "The Message" is an exciting mixture of high politics and attacks by savages. According to critics, Tracy is at his best when describing hairbreadth escapes and adventures, and The Message is his best work in this genre.The Spectator review of the novel reads: "Arthur Warden, the protagonist, has more character than the heroes of most adventure novels, and it is quite possible to take an interest in him as well as in the heroine."

“It’s fine!” said Arthur Warden, lowering his binoculars so as to glut his eyes with the full spectacle. “In fact, it’s more than fine, it’s glorious!” He spoke aloud in his enthusiasm. A stout, elderly man who stood near—a man with “retired tradesman” writ large on face and figure—believed that the tall, spare–built yachtsman was praising the weather.

Meet Laila Huberman, a dreamy head who has always dreamt of having a friend... "That will never happen" she thought. Yet the very next day becomes the best. She ended up meeting the friend of her dreams and they set out on an adventure of a life time. But as Laila opens up the mysterious gate, her curiosity becomes unbearable as she discovers... a message in a bottle..."

Example in this ebookCHAPTER IDERELICTS“It’s fine!” said Arthur Warden, lowering his binoculars so as to glut his eyes with the full spectacle. “In fact, it’s more than fine, it’s glorious!”He spoke aloud in his enthusiasm. A stout, elderly man who stood near—a man with “retired tradesman” writ large on face and figure—believed that the tall, spare–built yachtsman was praising the weather.“Yes, sir,” he chortled pompously, “this is a reel August day. I knew it. Fust thing this morning I tole my missus we was in for a scorcher.”Warden gradually became aware that these ineptitudes were by way of comment. He turned and read the weather–prophet’s label at a glance. But life was too gracious at that moment, and he was far too well–disposed toward all men, that he should dream of inflicting a snub.“That was rather clever of you,” he agreed genially. “Now, though the barometer stood high, I personally was dreading a fog three hours ago.”The portly one gurgled.“I’ve got a glass,” he announced. “Gev’ three[2] pun’ ten for it, but there’s a barrowmeter in my bones that’s worth a dozen o’ them things. I’ll back rheumatiz an’ a side o’ bacon any day to beat the best glass ever invented.”All unknowing, here was the touch of genius that makes men listen. Warden showed his interest.“A side of bacon!” he repeated.“Yes, sir. Nothing to ekal it. I was in the trade, so I know wot I’m talkin’ about. And, when you come to think of it, why not? Pig skin an’ salt—one of ‘em won’t have any truck wi’ damp—doesn’t want it an’ shows it—an’ t’other sucks it up like a calf drinkin’ milk. I’ve handled bacon in tons, every brand in the market, an’ you can’t smoke any of ‘em on a muggy day.”“Does your theory account for the old–fashioned notion that pigs can see the wind?”The stout man considered the point. It was new to him, and he was a Conservative.“I’m better acquent wi’ bacon,” he said stubbornly.“So I gather. I was only developing your very original idea, on the principle that“‘You may break, you may shatter, the vase if you will,But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.’”The ex–bacon–factor rapped an emphatic stick on the pavement. Though he hoped some of his friends would see him hob–nobbing “with a swell,” he refused to be made game of.“Wot ‘as scent got to do with it?” he demanded wrathfully.“Everything. Believe me, pigs have been used as pointers. And consider the porcine love of flowers. Why, there once was a pig named Maud because it would come into the garden.”Had Warden laughed he might have given the cue that was lacking. But his clean–cut, somewhat sallow face did not relax, and an angry man puffed away from him in a red temper.He caught scraps of soliloquy.“A pig named Maud!... Did anybody ever hear the like?... An’ becos it kem into a garden.... Might just as well ‘ave called it Maria.”To be continue in this ebook..................................................................................
