Beverly Gray on a World Cruise (Beverly Gray #6 G&D). Clair Blank. New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1936. First edition. Original dust jacket.Quitting her job mid-week, Beverly elects “to hang her conscience in a dark closet and forget about it.” Three days later the Susabella leaves New York. That day Beverly narrowly escapes a “menacing” shark, but the real excitement waits three more days, for when a storm washes Jim overboard. Despair is particularly acute for Beverly, whom Shirley believes “has been in love with Jim all the time—and didn’t know it.” Mourning turns to joy with the passage of another three days, at which point Jim, having been discovered by a “tramp steamer” apparently sans radio set, meets the Susabella at the London docks. -- source link
