| Summary |
"The Strange Adventures of Eric Blackburn" by Harry Collingwood is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Eric Blackburn, the fourth officer of the ill-fated s.s. "Saturn," who becomes the sole survivor of a catastrophic event at sea. After being rescued, Blackburn embarks on a thrilling journey to seek hidden treasure, encountering various challenges, including savage kings and treacherous crew members along the way. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Blackburn and the disastrous meteor strike that sinks the "Saturn." As he fights for survival in the water, Blackburn undergoes a transformation from a humbled officer to a determined adventurer. He eventually finds himself aboard a brigantine named the "Yorkshire Lass," where he learns of a treasure hunt with a crew made up of diverse characters. The opening establishes a gripping atmosphere filled with danger and excitement, setting the stage for Blackburn's growth and the incredible adventures to come.
