"Pieces of Eight" by Richard Le Gallienne is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows an adventurous quest for buried treasure in the Bahama Islands, starting with a group that includes the narrator and his friend, Secretary to the Treasury John Saunders. The tale is set in a world tinged with piracy and gold, capturing the mystery of lost fortunes and the lure of adventure. The opening portion introduces the premise of the narrative, which is supposedly based on an authentic account of treasure hunting.
