"Heart of Oak: A Three-Stranded Yarn, vol. 3" by William Clark Russell is a story set in a time of sailing ships, where a man named Archie Moore faces a terrible fear: his true love, Marie Otway, may have been lost at sea after her ship was wrecked. Woven with feelings of love and suspense, the book tells of Archie’s quest to learn what happened to Marie and what he will do as he deals with the scary possibilities of what might happen. It opens with Archie learning the awful news from a grieving Sir Mortimer and talking with sailors and coworkers, and soon Archie, with a surge of courage, journeys to the distant Cape, hoping to discover if they have found Marie's body washed ashore. Filled with hope and worry, Archie's determined search for Marie sets the stage for a story full of adventure on the vast ocean and determination, where he hopes to find her or, at least, find the truth about her fate.
