Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Mystery of the Sea-Lark" by Ralph Henry Barbour and H. P. Holt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Jack Holden, who aspires to run a ferry service using a derelict boat called the Sea-Lark. With the help of his friend George, he works to restore the boat and launch their business, all while navigating the challenges posed by their community, past events, and the mystery surrounding the Sea-Lark. At the start of the book, we meet Jack Holden and Cap’n Crumbie in the quaint fishing town of Greenport. The narrative introduces the aftermath of a fierce storm, hinting at a tragic incident involving a missing fishing boat. As they discuss the past and the robbery that affected Jack's father, we witness Jack's curiosity about the Sea-Lark, a stranded sloop. This sets the stage for Jack's ambition to refloat the vessel and start a ferry service. As the plot unfolds, we see Jack's determination and the budding friendship between him and George, all while mysterious elements linger in the background.
