"Vanderdecken" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with George du Cane, a wealthy orphan who is about to inherit a large fortune, and introduces a cast of characters including Hank Fisher, a quirky and adventurous man from the Bohemian Club. The narrative unfolds around the chase of a notorious yacht raider named Vanderdecken, whose exploits capture the attention of the protagonist and his companions as they concoct a plan to hunt him down. The opening of the novel introduces George du Cane in the Bohemian Club, where he navigates conversations about the criminal activities of Vanderdecken, a figure of infamy associated with yacht raiding. Amidst the discussions about the dwindling state of social activities due to Prohibition, Hank Fisher's determination to pursue Vanderdecken becomes evident as he reveals a personal motivation to earn the reward for capturing the pirate. As the plot thickens, both George and Hank become entangled in their quest, which leads them to acquire a decrepit yacht, the "Wear Jack", to brave the waters in search of the elusive raider. The tension builds as they face challenges and interpersonal dynamics, hinting at the adventures and mishaps that await them on their daring escapade. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
