  7. ^ From a bookseller notice, which remarks: The title page states «Being the sequel to The Cruise of "The Bizarre"»; back cover: «Prix 48 N.F. Not to be sold in U.K. or U.S.A.» This copy interestingly enough has its interior pages printed on canary yellow paper. The Passionate Lash or The Revenge of Sir Hilary Garner published at Paris by the Pall Mall Press was reprinted by the Gargoyle Press in 1968 as The Slaves of Elizabeth Fale ; this volume differs from the Pall Mall Press Passionate Lash.
