The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
In this story Charles Selden [the hero of The Pearl Lagoon] is sent to the South Seas on the ship Tara to manage temporarily his uncle's copra business. Uncle Harry has told the boy of a mysterious derelict, whose strange career of death and shipwreck he has learned from the lips of a dying Irishman. Early in the voyage occurs the first in the strange chain of perilous chances which lead to the recovery of the derelict and the finding of its unexpected cargo.
Captured by an elusive German raider, marooned on a lonely atoll, threatened with extinction by a typhoon, united by peril in a desperate man hunt, Charles and his native companions have to call upon all their resources of strength and cunning and courage in this vigorous story.
