  Nobody, said Cap'n Bill solemnly, "ever sawr a mermaid an' lived to tell the tale.""Why not?" asked Trot, looking earnestly up into the old sailor's face. They were seated on a bench built around a giant acacia tree that grew just at the edge of the bluff. Below them rolled the blue waves of the great Pacific. A little way behind them was the house, a neat frame cottage painted white and surrounded by huge eucalyptus and pepper trees. Still farther behind that - a quarter of a mile distant but built upon a bend of the coast - was the village, overlooking a pretty bay.

  One missing letter. One eccentric inventor. One very smoky meeting with the Viceroy of India. 
   
  John Fennil Wonder is an ambitious private secretary with a talent for involving himself in matters far beyond his authority. Determined to manage the affairs of the British Raj—and occasionally the Viceroy himself—Wonder arranges a private audience with Mellishe, an important and influential official from Madras. 
   
  Unfortunately, the invitation is delivered to the wrong man. 
   
  E. S. Mellish is an obsessive inventor who has spent fifteen years developing what he believes to be an infallible defense against cholera: Mellish’s Own Invincible Fumigatory. Convinced that powerful medical interests have conspired to suppress his discovery, he arrives at the Viceroy’s residence prepared to demonstrate his invention personally. 
   
  What follows is a spectacular cloud of choking smoke, flying sparks, panicked officials, and complete administrative chaos. 
   
  While Mellish proudly proclaims his experiment a triumph, the amused Viceroy quickly realizes that the mishap has destroyed something far more troublesome than any disease-causing germ. 
   
  Witty, fast-moving, and sharply irreverent, A Germ Destroyer is Rudyard Kipling’s comic attack on officious administrators, inflated reputations, scientific obsession, and the magnificent absurdity of government bureaucracy. 
   
  Narrated by Paul Landergan, this entertaining short listen brings Kipling’s mistaken identities, larger-than-life personalities, and explosive farce vividly to life.

  He had itched to try the machine out the evening before; only careful judgment kept him from it. The machine required a full twelve-hour period for warming up; to putter with it before it had reached its stable operating temperature would have been as senseless as attempting to fly with an aircraft only half completed...FROM THE BOOKS.
