Excerpt from Dick Hamilton's Steam Yacht, or a Young Millionaire and the Kidnappers My Dear Boys: Perhaps some of you, at one time or another, have had a desire to be cast away on an island in the middle of the ocean, there to have all sorts of adventures, to build a boat, and sail away, maybe; or, at any rate, to have some experience on the great sea. Something like this fell to the lot of Dick Hamilton, though he was not exactly looking for it, and it is my privilege to give you in this, the third volume of the "Dick Hamilton Series," an account of what happened to the young millionaire when he had purchased a steam yacht, and started out on a cruise with some of his friends. Dick was marooned on a small island, but, far from that proving a delightful experience, he was, very glad to leave, even though it was on a raft, which he and his companions constructed.
