Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pursuit_of_the_House-Boat E-text prepared by Bill Tozier, Barbara Tozier, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Pursuit of the House-Boat" by John Kendrick Bangs is a humorous fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. This lighthearted tale continues the escapades of notable literary characters, particularly focusing on the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and other illustrious figures from history and literature. The plot revolves around a caper that involves the abduction of the House-boat belonging to a group of "Associated Shades" - a gathering of famous spirits - and their ensuing efforts to retrieve it from the clutches of the notorious pirate Captain Kidd. At the start of the novel, the characters are immediately thrust into a dilemma when Captain Kidd steals the House-boat, taking with him various prominent female figures from history, such as Queen Elizabeth and Ophelia. The club members, led by Sir Walter Raleigh and Socrates, convene to address the crisis. They experience a blend of surreal interactions, witty banter, and absurd reasoning as they embark on a plan to recover their missing friends and beloved House-boat, eventually seeking the help of Holmes, who deduces that Kidd has sailed to London. The opening sets the stage for a comedic adventure filled with clever dialogue and whimsical situations, enticing readers into a world where literary and historical figures comically converge.
