==Book Description==<br />
<br />
The story of an attempt to reach Gibraltar through an underwater passage newly discovered after two thousand years of secrecy. Very much off the beaten past of mystery stories, THE HIDDEN PORTAL is a tale of dark deeds, of buried treasure and a glamorous light-o'-love, of a vengeance-mad Spanish governor, two young fliers, and an ancient sea captain. Here is an adventure in which the characters are far from pure and plot anything but simple. The locale is Spanish Morocco.<br />
<br />
One man wanted the treasure hidden in the passage and another wanted the military advantage that such an approach to the English garrison would give. Captain Purkeypile, with his ancient freighter, the Cecilia Butterworth, was forced into the position of providing the means by which the conflicting groups hoped to attain their goal, but the captain was nobody's fool. At eighty-five he knew more tricks than His Excellency, Colonel Campamento, and Major von Alvenstein put together.<br />
<br />
This colorful, swashbuckling tale is a very substanstial offering to those readers who like their fast action coupled with the thrill of discovering something new in mystery writing.<br />
