De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young sailor named Floyd, who survives a shipwreck and finds himself adrift in the Pacific before discovering a deserted lagoon island. There, he encounters Schumer, a trader who survived another maritime disaster, and Isbel, a Polynesian girl. Together, they delve into the mysterious depths of the lagoon, driven by the hope of finding riches in pearls. The opening of the novel introduces Floyd as he awakens alone in a small boat after the catastrophic fire of the schooner "Cormorant". We witness his flashbacks to the events leading up to the disaster, revealing the tension between the ship's crew, culminating in a tragic loss of life. As he drifts at sea, Floyd's hope rekindles when he spots an island and eventually meets Schumer and Isbel. Their interactions hint at an adventurous journey ahead, filled with both the promise of treasure and the complexities of human relationships in isolation.
