The matter is serious enough to draw the attention of the British Cabinet. Events involve the private ventures of officers and crews of the packets, illegal but usually ignored. Ramage turns up information that requires delicate handling, the type of information that could bring down the government.* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st/1st with some minor faults in a GD protected dust jacket.*
