Summary "The Pirate Island: A Story of the South Pacific" by Harry Collingwood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with a thrilling rescue operation on the Essex coast, where a fisherman adopts an orphan boy found aboard a sinking ship. As the narrative progresses, years later, a group of young adventurers embarks on a return voyage to Australia but encounters a disastrous event that leads them to a pirate ship, setting the stage for a tale filled with treasure, danger, and eventual triumph. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to a harsh stormy night as Ned Anger enters a tavern to await news of a shipwreck. Amid discussions among local fishermen about life-saving efforts, the orphan boy, Bob Legerton, is revealed to be a key character with a mysterious backstory connected to a past shipwreck. As the storm rages, a rescue party sets sail, catalyzing the events that will bind the characters together, including the discovery of treasure and dramatic plans for escape when tensions rise on the pirate island. The opening sets an engaging tone full of anticipation, excitement, and character development that hints at further adventures and personal growth throughout the novel.
