Summary

"Porto Bello Gold" by Arthur D. Howden Smith is an early 20th-century adventure story filled with pirates and mystery. It centers on Robert Ormerod, who finds his regular life disrupted by pirate rumors in New York, particularly those about Captain Rip-Rap, who turns out to be his great-uncle Murray. Young Darby, who works with Robert, is thrilled by the possibility of encountering pirates. Robert's father is deeply concerned with these rumors, especially because of the family's history with the infamous Murray. This family connection creates conflict for Robert as he not only deals with his great-uncle's pirate reputation, but also prepares for a grand adventure.
