| Summary | "The Island of Yellow Sands: An Adventure and Mystery Story for Boys" by E. C. Brill is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around adventurous themes, focusing on two boys, Ronald Kennedy and Jean Havard, who are drawn into a quest for a fabled island said to harbor golden sands. With the guidance of an Ojibwa Indian named Nangotook, they embark on a dangerous journey filled with mystery and the allure of treasure. At the start of the story, we meet Ronald and Jean at the Grande Portage on Lake Superior, where they are employed as canoemen for the Northwest Fur Company. Their adventure begins when Nangotook shares tales of the Island of Yellow Sands, offering to lead them there in hopes of finding gold to help restore Jean's family's lost home. As the boys plan their expedition, they navigate the challenges of secrecy and danger, dealing with both their ambitions and the less-than-honorable characters in the fur trade, particularly the unscrupulous Le Forgeron Tordu, who poses a threat to their quest. The opening sets the stage for suspense and excitement as they prepare for their perilous voyage across the lake. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
