Hope you don't mind, but i shifted your post into the 'sixties, because it's a companion volume to Shafts Of Fear published the same year. All the stories, bar Birkins, appeared in Wheatley's massive A Century Of Horror for Hutchinson back in 1935.

Perfect!

Thanks for helping me out!

Looks like an interesting collection of stories. Although i usually read novels, it's nice to have a break every now and again.

John Russell - The Price Of The Head: (Colliers, May 20, 1916). Fufuti (Funafuti ?), Polynesia. Christopher Alexander Pellett, beachcomber, "a sodden lump of flesh preserved in alcohol," is befriended by Karaki, the company boat-boy, who nominates himself the white man's minder. On the surface there seems little in this unlikely partnership for the native, a single-minded fellow hardly renowned for bonhomerie, but perhaps he has an ulterior motive.
