For Treasure Bound by Harry Collingwood
"For Treasure Bound" by Harry Collingwood is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Harry Collingwood, who shares the name of the author, as he embarks on a daring adventure to uncover a legendary treasure in the Pacific after learning of his father’s mysterious disappearance at sea. With a beautifully crafted cutter and a love interest by his side, Harry's journey begins with a series of
thrilling maritime escapades. The opening of the novel sets an intense tone with a vivid depiction of a violent November gale threatening a vessel off the coast of Weymouth. As the protagonist and his companion Bob Trunnion rush to the scene of a shipwreck, they witness the desperate efforts to rescue the crew. Amidst the chaos, Harry displays bravery by rescuing a Spaniard who has survived a previous shipwreck, learning from him the existence of a buried treasure on a remote island. This revelation ignites Harry's ambition to seek the fortune, setting the stage for his subsequent adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
