Richard Hatteras: Goes into a Mosque and fights his way out to save three people who were being accosted for disrespecting Cultural traditions by wearing boots inside.

And it is just assumed that the Three Englishmen would be killed for it.

This really is a book of it's time.

Oh lord.

They "drove the enemy out of the citadel"

They barred them out of the Mosque.

A Bid For Fortune.

It's the first in the Dr. Nikola books.

Though Dr. Nikola is the antagonist and he's been in all of four scenes so far, and I think I'm on something like-

Chapter 7 now.

Most of the book is made up primarily of "Richard Hatteras' extraordinary coincidences and slightly off adventure to England"

Because Richard Hatteras is Australian, as is the author.

It was written in the 1890s

So- yeah.

It's a book of it's time.

At least where the Mosque is is plausible.

Port Said, which I'm certain is Egypt.

I will give him credit though- he knows English Geography well enough in the South of England.

I mean- He used Bournemouth as one of the main locations.

And he's mentioned sailing round the Isle of Wight with the Needles and all.

The author should've used more Google search.

Knowledge wise, geographically, it is al right.

But I think the ever-increasing tide of Richard Hatteras' relatively common events (even if they are with a young Nobleman) is starting to tire me.

At least in this chapter, he's waking up after being choked in the street in Port Said.

So basically him and the young Marquis of Beckenham have been captured in Egypt.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it was people from the "mob" at the Mosque.

Yep, he's woken up.

In a dark room.

With an Iron collar.

And the Marquis is unconscious.

Good job protecting the Marquis, Dick.

(Because Richards are often called Dick, he is referred to as Dick Hatteras, and honestly it kind of suits him)

As if this book didn't get silly enough.

Hatteras and Beckenham's brilliant plan on escaping hinges on one beggar noticing a rat carrying a message.

Oh- and that rat carrying the message all the way through a pipe and not dropping it at all.

Holy.

They actually have made the escape.

The beggar got them a file, and they filed off their Iron collars.

They are literally walking out the prison.

Also-

Fair enough it took them around 8 days for it to be successful.

And before that they were sat in prison for 20 days.

Hold up-

This is hilarious.

The door is actually locked.

Yes, the cell door is locked.

They overlooked the fact that the door would be locked.

And now they're going to try and break it down.

It went better than expected.

They're expecting a fight and the passage is just deserted.

But they actually did break the door open.
