Jim Swift and His Electic Gun

The story opens with Jim daydreaming of African Safaris while test-firing his new Electric Rifle. It works too well and toasts a hole in his neighbor's dining room wall, prompting an outraged visit from the toastee-in-question. A quick application of cash settles ruffled feathers, and some unspecified safety features are added to the weapon, to prevent a recurrence of the accident. As luck would have it, a famous African Safari Master is in town, shopping for a new big game rifle. He hooks up with Jim and a new custom-built airship, the Black Hawk, is designed & constructed. Jim, Noel, Mr. SanFranCup and the hunter, Mr. Bojangles, are off to the Dark Continent via steamship, in search of ivory and adventure.
