Polly in Egypt (The Polly Brewster Series, Book 11)

212 pp. Illustrated by H.S. Barbour. When Polly and her friends dropped anchor in Hong-Kong harbor, they soon found out that China in war-time was no place for tourists. On the trip up the river to the town where their friends lived, the Dalken's yacht was attacked by the Chinese and after a thrilling escape the Atlanta started at full steam for Egypt. It was in Cairo that Polly met two friends of Jack Baxter who accepted Mrs. Dalken's invitation to accompany them on their voyage up the Nile River. Under the spell of the golden days and velvet nights a charming romance was born on the Dalken yacht when young Bevan fell in love with pretty Mathilde Stackley. The Arab's gift of divination and the story of the scarab belonging to the Princess Tepha added to the romance.
