6.50 Mr. A. R. Dawson: Two Adventurers of the West - I: Pirate Avery and the Mogul's Jewels

Mr. Dawson's stories sound more like 'best sellers' than fact, but they are absolutely authentic. We are too far removed from the eighteenth century to be aware of the furore aroused when Pirate Avery laid his rascally hands upon the diamonds of the Grand Mogul, the wealthiest potentate that India has ever had. Mr. Dawson will explain how Avery accomplished his daring raid and will deal with the rumour that some of the treasure found its way surreptitiously to certain merchants of Bristol.
