About This Book

A pair of adventure narratives opens with a storm-tossed ship laboring through broken seas to recover a lone survivor clinging to wreckage, then shifts to inland episodes among gold-seeking parties at a remote creek; both parts emphasize perilous natural conditions, acts of daring and solidarity, and the practical struggles of men coping with maritime and frontier hazards.
