About This Book

Four adventurous boys set out by sea and are forced into lifeboats when their ship catches fire; after drifting and landing on a remote shore they establish a camp, uncover an iron chest and puzzling clues, and undertake methodical searches and excavations that lead them into underground passages and a treasure cave. Their journey includes storms, dangerous mishaps, encounters with marine predators, and tensions among companions, and it emphasizes practical problem-solving, teamwork, and self-reliance as they interpret clues, dig, and finally resolve the riddle that reveals the hidden hoard.
