South Sea Shipmates by John Arthur Barry follows an extraordinary and sight-filled adventure over the South Sea in search of treasure. Excerpt: “Barry was singularly lovable, and made friends wherever he went. Though brave and adventurous, he was gentle and kindly by nature, and no roughness of life and companionship ever made him other than a gentleman in the best sense. He seemed to have a gift for getting on with all sorts and conditions of men on land and sea, and he sketches their various characters with sympathy and insight, and no little sense of humor.”
