Two boys and a learned companion, castaways on a South Seas island, follow strange signals to a native village, free a white captive and explore caverns full of mineral riches. Like the rest of the series, it is packed with practical lessons in geology and invention, and it treats the islanders throughout as savages to be subdued and civilised, a view typical of its day.
