Summary: "The Saint of the Speedway" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around themes of adventure, ambition, and moral dilemmas associated with fortune-seeking, primarily through the lives of two main characters, Len Stern and Jim Carver, who are youthful adventurers from Alaska. Their quest for gold leads them to the treacherous northwest coast of Australia, where they unearth a fortune but must navigate the dangers of secrecy and greed that accompany their newfound wealth. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the two men as they experience the thrill of discovering a significant gold deposit while working at a primitive sluice in the Australian wilderness. As their excitement builds, Len contemplates the vast implications of their discovery. Meanwhile, Jim, reflective and cautious, warns of the risks involved, hinting at the challenges that come with their ambition. The narrative quickly establishes a sense of urgency, as both men realize the need to devise a plan to conceal their fortune from outside forces, including the Australian government. Amidst this tension, the foreword draws a connection to the enigma of the "Marie Celeste," adding layers of intrigue to their adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
