Frank Baum is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the protagonist, Sam Steele, who embarks on a hazardous voyage aboard a ship named the "Gladys H." to deliver a valuable cargo to San Pedro, California. Along the way, he faces challenges, encounters a quirky inventor and his remarkable automobile, and navigates the dangers of the ocean and a mysterious land. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the ship "Gladys H.", which is in a precarious state after a severe storm. Sam’s father refuses to captain the ship due to his commitment to a new vessel, prompting him to send his son, Sam, in his place. Sam exhibits bravery and determination, taking on the ship’s command with the help of his experienced mate, Ned Britton. After renaming the ship and preparing for the journey, Sam accepts the unexpected request of Duncan Moit, an eccentric inventor with an automobile he wishes to bring along. The narrative sets the stage for adventure, as the crew's voyage is fraught with uncertainty, superstition, and the thrill of exploration into uncharted territories.
