| Summary | "The Boy Fortune Hunters in China" by Floyd Akers is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young boys, led by Sam Steele, as they embark on a sea voyage filled with intrigue and excitement that leads them to China. When a tragic shipwreck occurs, the boys find themselves intertwined with the fate of Prince Kai Lun Pu, a young Mandarin whose life they seek to save, setting the stage for a grand treasure-hunting adventure that involves navigating both foreign customs and potential treachery. At the start of the novel, the boys are aboard the merchant ship "Seagull", where they witness the disaster of the passenger steamship "Karamata Maru". After rescuing survivors, they learn about Prince Kai Lun Pu, who becomes a central figure in their journey. Despite being severely injured, the prince expresses gratitude towards Sam, leading to a friendship that develops amid the urgency of his impending death. The narrative quickly escalates as the prince reveals secrets about his ancestral wealth and proposes an ambitious plan to retrieve it. This sets the boys on a course toward adventure as they navigate the complexities of Chinese culture and the dangers posed by the prince's treacherous servant, Mai Lo.
