Synopsis

Where did those rasty, barbaric theft-driven pirates bury their treasures in the 17th and 18th Centuries? Perhaps just a little south of the main South Sea shipping lane in a secluded harbor where a short paddle through shark-infested waters to the steamy, fetid jungle island could yield fresh water, food, and gold! Turn-of-the-20th Century fortune hunters from the schooner, Bessie, hunt where only ghosts inhabit--or are they all merely apparitions? Captain Dan was ready to retire until he gained access to a secret cipher--one that he felt sure was authentic enough to reap him millions and willing to risk one more salty adventure to seek the insanely rich treasures of Cocos Island.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Patrick John Rose was born on board his father’s ship, the Marguerite, off the coast of New York on January 29, 1872. Patrick claimed to have sailed for more than 30 years and actually did sail to Cocos Island. Following his return to San Francisco, he gave up sailing as he had caught Alaskan gold fever. Patrick professed to be a “sailor, prospector, miner, cowpoke, and oil worker.” We know that he published at least one book (Bitter River Ranch in 1936 through Phoenix Press) during his lifetime and wrote many others as well as painted numerous illustrations for his manuscripts—many of schooners—one of which purportedly hung in the White House. All illustrations in this book as well as the cover are photographs of his original paintings. Records indicate that he was married and living in San Francisco by 1918. Patrick Rose died in August, 1959, in Long Beach near the ocean he loved at 87 years of age.
