Summary: "In Search of the Castaways" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. This adventurous narrative revolves around the quest to rescue Captain Grant of the brig Britannia, who has gone missing, along with the tale of his children and their courageous friends who embark on a perilous journey to find him. The opening of the story introduces readers to the yacht Duncan and its noble owner, Lord Glenarvan, who is accompanied by his wife, Lady Helena, and Major MacNabb. During a trial voyage, they spot a large shark, which leads to the discovery of a bottle containing critical documents related to Captain Grant's shipwreck in Patagonia. As Lord Glenarvan deciphers the contents, he learns of the dire need for assistance faced by Captain Grant and two sailors, setting the stage for the group's determination to rescue the trapped survivors. With characters filled with courage and intellect, the narrative hints at thrilling adventures across uncharted waters as they set sail to answer the call for help.
