Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Dragon's Secret" by Augusta Huiell Seaman is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Leslie Crane, a young girl who is staying with her aunt in a secluded bungalow by the ocean. As Leslie experiences the beauty and excitement of the autumn coast, a series of mysterious events begin to unfold, particularly concerning an adjacent closed bungalow named Curlew's Nest and a peculiar casket associated with it. At the start of the narrative, Leslie enjoys a stormy night at the beach with her dog Rags, leading to an intriguing encounter with a mysterious light at Curlew's Nest. Following this incident, she discovers driftwood and various flotsam on the beach, including a hidden burlap sack containing a beautifully crafted metal box adorned with dragon imagery. The surface of the story hints at secrets and potential adventures as Leslie teams up with another girl, Phyllis, who becomes a friend and accomplice, as they delve deeper into the enigma of the box and its connection to their surroundings. The opening chapters establish not only the setting but also the tone of youthful curiosity and camaraderie that drives the unfolding mystery.
