Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Gold Out of Celebes" by Aylward Edward Dingle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main character, Captain Jack Barry, a sailor who finds himself jobless in Batavia after the sinking of his previous ship. His luck changes when he meets a salesman named Tom Little, who offers him a chance to captain a brigantine on a mysterious quest that involves uncovering a possible gold discovery in Celebes. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jack Barry, who is grappling with his unemployment and the frustrations of maritime life in Batavia. His encounter with Tom Little sets the stage for an adventure, as Little proposes a plan to investigate a trader named Gordon, suspected of wrongdoing involving gold dust. As the story unfolds, Barry's character evolves as he navigates not only the treacherous waters of the sea but also the complex interpersonal dynamics introduced by characters such as the enigmatic Mrs. Goring and the native Malay named Mindjee. The opening sets a suspenseful tone that hints at a mixture of intrigue and action, promising readers a journey filled with danger and exploration in exotic locales.
