"Lord Lister No. 0334: Onder de goudzoekers" by Matull, Blankensee, and Hageman is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Set amid an Alaskan gold rush, it follows the gentleman-thief Lord Lister (Raffles), his companion Charly Brand, and their formidable ally Henderson as they trade London’s streets for the frozen Tanana and the lawless camp of Meadow Hill. The tale pivots on gold fever, frontier violence, and a looming rescue
as the trio confront predatory outlaws and protect a preacher’s daughter in a world ruled by sled dogs, saloons, and the gun. The opening of the book paints a stark Arctic landscape where Raffles and his men, with their wolfhound Fang, reach the homestead of the hospitable trapper Jack Brunt and his young wife before pushing on to Meadow Hill. Along the way we learn Raffles fled London for wilderness freedom, having crossed the Atlantic in his experimental “Devil of the Air,” and we hear grim talk of gold rumors, scant policing, and rough vigilante codes. In Meadow Hill they lodge at Perry Finn’s inn, clash with local bully Mike Penalty, and witness the brutal rhythm of saloon life at Bill Rednose’s—complete with a knife murder and predatory “hostesses.” They meet trapper Tom Hatters, fiancé of Jessie Barry, the devoted daughter of the settlement’s courageous preacher. Overhearing that Mike and an accomplice are gambling over Jessie, Raffles decides to warn her father; but when they reach the parsonage, Jessie has been lured away by Dolly Patterson’s message. Racing to the dying Patterson’s cabin, they find the old man helpless and learn Jessie has just been abducted by Mike and his gang. Raffles resolves on immediate pursuit, turning the hunt from wild game to men. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
