(John Conroy) Hutcheson, John Conroy Picked up at Sea The Gold Miners of Minturne Creek Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Picked Up at Sea; or, The Gold Miners of Minturne Creek" by John C. Hutcheson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins in the tumultuous Bay of Biscay, where a boy, later named Sailor Bill, is miraculously rescued from a piece of wreckage by the crew of the "Susan Jane". As the plot unfolds, the narrative follows the adventures of the ship's crew and their attempt to strike it rich in the mines of Dakota, intertwining themes of survival, camaraderie, and the harsh realities of life both at sea and in the wilderness. The opening of the story sets a dramatic scene aboard the "Susan Jane" as the crew navigates rough waters and responds to the sighting of the boy in distress. After a daring rescue, Sailor Bill, who has suffered a severe injury rendering him mute and bewildered, begins to forge bonds with the crew, especially with Seth Allport, the ship's first mate. Captain Blowser and Mr. Rawlings, the only passenger, work to nurture and protect the boy, all while the ship carries on toward its final destination. As the tale progresses, it explores what happens when they arrive in America, the discovery of a promising mine, and the unfolding of Sailor Bill's mysterious past, which leaves readers eager for the boy's recovery and the team's success against the odds.
