About This Book

Three adolescent brothers leave military school and, joined by their father and friends, set out aboard a steam yacht on a summer cruise to locate a rumored treasure on a remote island. The voyage mixes buoyant camaraderie with escalating hazards: fog and mishap at sea, encounters with hostile men, captures and escapes, and a hazardous trek through a jungleed island as clues and a missing landmark complicate the hunt. Initiative, courage, and cooperation propel their investigation through narrow escapes and strategic moves against adversaries. The plot closes with a consequential discovery connected to the treasure and a return home that resolves the principal dangers.
