The Curse of the Catafalques

The Curse of the Catafalques by F. Antsey is about a young man whose uncle has sent him to Australia for work. He soon meets a distraught man named McFadden who charges him for finding a young lady named Chlorine who is to be his betrothed. Excerpt: «Unless I am very much mistaken, until the time when I was subjected to the strange and exceptional experience which I now propose to relate, I had never been brought into close contact with anything of a supernatural description. At least if I ever was, the circumstance can have made no lasting impression upon me, as I am quite unable to recall it.»
