Jacob Benedict receives via the Seekers HQ a cable from an old flame named Cheng. That lovely lady is a world-traveling photographer who was in Greece when she not only witnessed a kidnapping, she took a photo of it. The snatched person was Princess Syringia, a lady worth millions. The most interesting aspect was that she was taken while on her small yacht by a crew of pirates complete with their own old-style pirate ship!
