I'm pretty sure the description which is from the back of the book is false advertising.
-------------------------

I could only make it through 2 stories:

~ The Mysterious Card by Cleveland Moffett - 2* - It was readable but had a stupid ending // I came across this later: "The story ends without a clear resolution, leaving the readers to ponder the mystery. The author revealed the solution to this puzzle in the sequel, "The Mysterious Card Unveiled," which he didn't publish until the next year, to keep his readers in suspense " Well no wonder I thought it was a stupid ending.

~ "Man Overboard!" by Winston S. Churchill - 2*
-------------------------

The oldest story in the book is from 1896, newest 1933 (2nd newest 1908). I think that was part of my problem. I'm not a strong enough reader to get through old fashioned dialect and enjoy myself. I am grateful for this book to help me remove some turn of the century books from my TO READ list. (
