(? -? ) Author who wrote for the Boys' Papers, whose magnum opus was the fourteen-part Space Opera serial "The War in Space" (24 July-23 October 1926 Boys' Magazine), described in the above-cited entry for Boys' Papers as "very reminiscent of the 1930s Pulp magazines with its story of Asteroids drawn from orbit and hurled as missiles towards Earth, manmade webs of metal hanging in space, domed Cities on strange planets and giant insects (see Monsters) stalking the surface of hostile worlds." This was never assembled in book form. The tale is of historical interest for including what appears to be the first unhyphenated use of the widely adopted sf term Starship (which see), though the word appears as "star-ship" as early as 1882.
