"The Coast of Adventure" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the Spanish-Indian town of Rio Frio, set against the backdrop of political turmoil in a Caribbean setting. The opening introduces Father Agustin, James Grahame, and his companion Walthew, who appear to be embroiled in a risky venture amidst the looming presence of governmental unrest and revolutionary fervor. A mix of adventure and intrigue is hinted at as Grahame and Walthew navigate their way through a land fraught with danger and the complexities of local politics. At the start of the novel, Rio Frio is depicted as a hot, dusty town experiencing the aftermath of a political speech that incites a crowd to revolution. Father Agustin engages in a thoughtful discussion about the failures of the local government and the people's plight, suggesting a deeper narrative about injustice and rebellion. As Grahame and Walthew converse, their motivations become clearer; they are adventurers seeking fortune, but the risks are palpable, especially with the threat of government reprisals looming. The chapter sets a vivid scene of tension as the characters prepare for their journey, foreshadowing the challenging but exhilarating exploits awaiting them in the Caribbean.
