"The Secret Chart; or, Treasure Hunting in Hayti" by Lieutenant James K. Orton is a fictional adventure tale written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a group of characters, including two boys, Gilbert and Nelson, as they prepare for a voyage on a yacht, the "Day Dream", to seek treasure in Hayti. Their quest begins when they stumble upon items in an old chest that suggest buried treasure related to pirate lore. The opening of the tale introduces the main characters and sets the scene for their adventure. As the boys help prepare for their journey, they discover a mysterious newspaper article detailing the pirate history of Tortuga de Mar, which sparks their interest in finding treasure. After setting sail, they encounter storms and the threat of mutiny from unscrupulous castaways they rescue, creating tension in the narrative. The boys' excitement about treasure hunting quickly shifts to navigating the dangers that come with it, highlighting a classic theme of adventure stories that blends exploration with peril in pursuit of fortune.
