| Summary | "The Boy Fortune Hunters in Alaska" by Floyd Akers is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows the journey of Sam Steele, a young boy who becomes an orphan after his father's tragic death at sea. With the help of his uncle, Naboth Perkins, Sam embarks on a quest for fortune and adventure, facing various challenges as they set sail for Alaska during the gold rush. At the start of the story, Sam receives the devastating news of his father's demise from a sailor, Ned Britton, who has come to deliver the tragic message about the loss of the ship, the "Saracen." Following this life-altering event, he confronts the manipulative widow, Mrs. Ranck, who claims to have legal rights over his father's belongings. Soon after, Sam learns that he has an uncle he never knew, Naboth Perkins, who offers to take him aboard his ship, the "Flipper," setting the stage for thrilling adventures in Alaska. The opening chapters present a vivid portrayal of Sam's struggles, his unexpected inheritance, and the budding partnership with his uncle as they prepare to face the perils of the sea and the promise of riches in the icy frontier.
