Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Mountain of Fears" by Henry C. Rowland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Doctor Leyden, who, alongside a group of companions, embarks on an adventurous journey to Papua in search of gold. As they navigate the lush yet treacherous landscape, they encounter both the beauty and peril associated with their pursuit, as well as unsettling manifestations of fear and superstition from the local inhabitants. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere as Doctor Leyden engages in a deep conversation with his shipmate about the psychological effects of nervous disorders, foreshadowing the unraveling of the characters' sanity amidst their quest. As they draw closer to the ominous "Mountain of Fears," local tribes express apprehension, warning them against advancing further. This intrigue heightens as Leyden recounts their initial experiences in the valley, filled with strange fruit and alluring prospects of gold, which lead to a struggle between hope and fear as the characters confront the unsettling forces at play in this exotic land.
