AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tragedy of two young officers at Gibraltar. Two wild brother officers - both dishonourably indebted, resolve to commit suicide as the courtyard lamplighter does his duty. The first officer does so but the second lamp refuses to be lit and the second officer receives a letter from home detailing money credited to his account through his mother's efforts. The shock and her love reform him. Strangely told in parts. (PB)
