IN SEARCH
OF THE CASTAWAYS
Jules Verne
The contents of a shark’s stomach contain a
bottle that holds partially deteriorated notes written in three
different languages. Together they give clues to the location of Captain
Harry Grant, whose ship the Britannia was lost at sea. While the
latitude (37th parallel) of Grant is known from the notes, the longitude
is a mystery. Lord Glenarvan makes it his quest to find Grant; together
with his wife, Harry Grant’s two children, and the crew of his yacht the
Duncan, they set off for South America. On their journey the searchers
encounter storms, earthquakes, deserts, floods, pirates, cannibals,
wolves, and numerous other dangers as they trace the 37th parallel
across South America, then across Australia, and finally across New
Zealand. Includes 90 vintage illustrations from the original 1873
edition.
