"The Boy Fortune Hunters in the South Seas" by Floyd Akers is an early 20th-century adventure tale where young Sam Steele, his father Captain Steele, and his quirky Uncle Naboth embark on a voyage to deliver machinery to Australia, but unexpectedly become involved in a dangerous quest. The crew of the ship "Seagull" faces more than just the usual shipping challenges when the mysterious Señor de Jiminez offers them a tempting deal to sell their ship for a revolution in Colombia. As chaos ensues, they encounter a fierce typhoon, leading to their ship being stranded on the uncharted island of Faytan, said to be inhabited by the mythical and dangerous Pearl People. This sets the stage for a thrilling adventure filled with peril and mystery as they navigate treacherous waters, encounter revolutionaries, and confront the unknown.
