"Pieces of Eight" by Richard Le Gallienne is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows an adventurous quest for buried treasure in the Bahama Islands, starting with a group that includes the narrator and his friend, Secretary to the Treasury John Saunders. The tale is set in a world tinged with piracy and gold, capturing the mystery of lost fortunes and the lure of adventure. The opening portion introduces the premise of the narrative, which is supposedly based on an authentic account of treasure hunting. The narrator recounts a visit with Saunders in Nassau, where they discuss tales of buried treasure left by pirates. The excitement really kicks off when Saunders reveals a mysterious manuscript detailing the locations of two hidden treasures, allegedly belonging to a pirate named Henry P. Tobias. As the narrative unfolds, the characters' backgrounds and motivations are hinted at, setting the stage for their impending adventure that promises danger, excitement, and the ethical dilemmas of chasing hidden riches.
