In Chapter I the reader is introduced to Eric Blackburn, fourth officer of the ill-fated "Saturn", and hero of this story. The s.s. "Saturn" is overtaken in mid-ocean by a sudden and irreparable disaster, Blackburn being the sole survivor. Picked up by a sailing ship, the castaway finds himself elevated to the position of skipper, and joins in a search for hidden treasure. The search is successful, but on its way to port the ship is wrecked on an uncharted island. Blackburn and the dead captain's son reach land safely, and while exploring have many adventures and experiences. They become acquainted with a savage king, to whom they render aid in repelling attacks by huge apes which are a continual menace The treasure, which they have saved, proves a source of danger when two doubtful characters, former member's of Blackburn's crew, turn up unexpectedly. A settlement is effected, but complications arise and disaster is narrowly averted. Later, the hero and his companion leave their island home, carrying the treasure with them.
