Summary "Ocean Tramps" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work depicts the adventures of two men, Billy Harman and Bud Davis, as they navigate the perils and thrills of life on the seas, particularly around the Pacific Islands. At the heart of the narrative is the quest for fortune, marked by their encounters with deception, romance, and the allure of wealth, particularly through the eyes of the love interest of one of the protagonists. At the start of "Ocean Tramps," the scene sets itself in Papaleete, where we meet Billy Harman, a down-on-his-luck, good-natured man who is approached by Davis, his equally aimless but shrewd companion. They plot to steal a ship owned by a man they both disdain, leading to a series of moral dilemmas as they wrestle with their actions and the potential consequences of their schemes. The narrative presents their banter and reflections, showcasing their contrasting personalities as they embark on a dangerous adventure that intertwines with intrigue and the possibility of love. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, the opening chapters establish a world of possibility mixed with the unpredictability of their choices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
