| Summary | "Dick Leslie's Luck: A Story of Shipwreck and Adventure" by Harry Collingwood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around maritime themes, detailing the misfortunes of a group of passengers aboard the sailing ship "Golden Fleece" as they face a catastrophic disaster at sea. Central to the narrative are the characters of Richard Leslie, a man with a tragic past, and Flora Trevor, a beautiful but proud young woman who finds herself in a precarious situation during the shipwreck. At the start of the tale, the "Golden Fleece" is enveloped in a thick fog as it sails toward Melbourne. Tension builds when the ship collides with a steam vessel, leading to chaos and panic among the passengers and crew as the ship begins to sink. In the midst of the turmoil, Richard Leslie demonstrates his strength and resourcefulness, ultimately taking on a protective role for Flora Trevor after they both end up in the water. As they cling to survival amidst the wreckage, the opening of the novel sets the stage for an epic adventure of endurance and resilience against the odds.
