About This Book

A thrilling tale of the siege and defence of Gibraltar. Three men, who had grown up together, met again at the English fortress of Gibraltar. The Spanish were determined to take it; the British, under the able governorship of Sir George Eliott, were resolved to keep it. Running the blockade was a favourite way of seeing excitement; the shelling of the town was met by the blowing up of the main Spanish magazine. The fate and happiness of lovely Dona Inez, Eleanor Eliot, and little Lu-lu were all tied up in the epic struggle.
