Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Treasure of the Seas" by James De Mille is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Captain Corbet and a group of boys aboard the aged schooner Antelope as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Atlantic. Their journey leads them into various predicaments, including difficulties caused by their ship's failing sails and compass, and ultimately, they find themselves drifting toward the infamous Sable Island, known as the graveyard of ships and sailors. At the start of the book, the crew is faced with escalating challenges as Captain Corbet struggles with navigation and the ship's condition, provoking concerns among the boys. The gradual approach to Sable Island evokes both intrigue and trepidation, especially given the island's notorious reputation. As they contemplate whether to land, they overhear a mysterious tale from the governor of Sable Island that hints at buried treasure linked to Captain Kidd, stirring excitement and ambition among the boys. Their adventure teeters between dire danger and the enticing prospect of discovering hidden riches, setting the stage for a thrilling exploration of courage, camaraderie, and the allure of treasure.
