About This Book

A man driven by ambition undertakes perilous ventures along a tropical coast and at sea after an uncle vanishes in mangrove swamps, where local superstitions complicate practical plans. He and a close companion face storms, dangerous tows, and jungle mysteries while pursuing profit, partnership offers, and missing explorers. A romantic strand involving a woman named Mabel and disputed rewards tests loyalties and decisions. The later sections trace consequences of past choices, the search for clues and confrontations ashore, efforts to make amends, and a final attempt at restitution and a fresh start.
