About this book

Oliver Optic wrote The Coming Wave, which carries the line The Hidden Treasure of High Rock. Captain 'Siah was nervous, though he was as familiar with the bay as he was with the apartments in his own house. The Waldo was an old vessel, and barely sea-worthy, even for a summer voyage, to the region of hurricanes.

A confused, roaring sound comes from far away to seaward, between the peals of thunder, and Captain 'Siah listens longer than usual. A speaker tells Leopold that Squire Moses said his father's furniture was mortgaged and would have to be sold too, and that the plan of the old hunks is to get the hotel and put Ethan into it as landlord. Leopold mutters that it is a mean trick, and the answer comes that it isn't any meaner than a thousand other things the old man does.
