What do you know of the Sargasso Sea--that wonderful floating island of
seaweed in the Atlantic Ocean, directly in the path of every steamer
sailing from the Gulf of Mexico to Europe?
This story tells how three shipwrecked passengers, two men and a
charming young woman, got drawn into the Sargasso Sea, where they
found an entire fleet of vessels, that had been similarly caught by
the revolving current, and had been there, some of them, since the
days of the Spaniards. It is all so vivid that one can see the gaunt
wrecks, the flapping sails, the marvellous lost galleons of Spain. The
experiences of these three, until they are rescued, make a story whose
interest never flags even for an instant.
