I have just finished Blake of the "Rattlesnake".

Here is my cover: https://librivox.org/uploads/covers/blakerattlesnake_1911.zip

Many thanks to you as well, Jo!

Many thanks for PLing the book!

Added final attribution. Back in the same slot: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/blakeoftherattlesnake_16_jane_128kb.mp3

And now ... my words return to bite me! In Chapter 16, Jane now tries out "foke's'le" on page 244. I gnash my teeth, but use it!

I'm not worried about those notes - the phrase simply signals there's no more "meat" in the file; time to change to the next one!

And you're doing a great job of catching up! Thank you!

Thanks muchly, Linny! I will repair the item you mention. And now, Chapter 8 is hailing its collier at its secret rendezvous! :D https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/blakeoftherattlesnake_08_jane_128kb.mp3 And after coming alongside, Chapter 9 is (thankfully! -See the chapter!) coaling! :D...
