| Summary | "The Ocean Wireless Boys on the Pacific" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows the young wireless operator, Jack Ready, and his friend Billy Raynor as they embark on a mysterious voyage aboard the yacht "Sea Gypsy" under the enigmatic millionaire Jacob Jukes. Their journey across the Pacific soon turns perilous as they face storms, uncover secrets, and encounter dangers both natural and human. At the start of the story, the "Sea Gypsy" is twenty days into its voyage, ostensibly on a mission that has yet to be revealed to the crew. Jack observes the unsettling beauty of a sunset as Captain Sparhawk expresses concern over the dropping atmospheric pressure, hinting at an approaching hurricane. As the storm hits, chaos ensues, leading to the yacht being battered by waves and Jack fighting for survival in the turbulent ocean. The narrative sets the stage for a series of thrilling adventures to come, involving shipwrecks, mysterious derelicts, and the ultimate quest to locate Mr. Jukes' missing brother, setting up a captivating story of heroism and discovery.
