"Hurricane Island" by H. B. Marriott Watson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Dr. Richard Phillimore, a discontented physician who leaves his dreary practice in London's East End for an adventurous life aboard the steam-yacht "Sea Queen". With the unexpected twist of coming into contact with royal figures and engaging in a plot that threatens their safety, the narrative explores themes of identity, moral dilemmas, and the allure of adventure. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Dr. Phillimore, is depicted grappling with dissatisfaction in his life and career. His chance encounter with the "Sea Queen", a luxury yacht, leads to a dramatic rescue of a man falling into the water—a situation that introduces him to the world of maritime adventures and the enigmatic passengers of the yacht. As he navigates this new environment, Dr. Phillimore learns that the yacht is carrying a prince in disguise and must confront a plot devised by one of the crew members that aims to seize the riches and status that accompany the royal identity. This opening portion sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of intrigue and adventure on the high seas. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
