Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wrecker" by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne is an adventure novel written in 1892. The story centers on the mysterious abandoned wreck of the Flying Scud at Midway Atoll. Clues hidden in a stamp collection lead to tracking down the missing crew and unraveling what happened. This sprawling South Sea tale combines episodic adventure, comedy, and detective mystery elements that only connect in the final chapter. The loosely woven narrative reflects its collaborative creation, with each author contributing different sections.
