Golden Galleon Scheme Ends in Stock Crash and Ruin
A postersized tale follows Willis Emery Arland whose Golden Galleon mining claim thrills investors. The narrator pens a prospectus while Harland and Adams push bogus fantasies to lure money, including Mrs. Von Glahn who buys stock at cheap prices. The crash comes as insiders sell out and the vein runs dry.
