About this book

On a June evening in 1577, two friends leave their work in Devonport for a sail on the Sound. Philip Stukely, an apothecary's assistant with artistic interests and a taste for adventure stories, takes the tiller. Dick Chichester, a practical young shipwright's apprentice, tends the sails. Harry Collingwood's adventure for younger readers begins with their shared enthusiasm for boats, giving close attention to the handling of a lugger and the waters around Plymouth.

The story later takes the friends into Peru, where Vilcamapata, a former priest they have saved, offers to reveal a temple's hidden wealth. His account points toward a sacred lake beneath a snowy mountain, with months of difficult travel ahead. Phil's growing command of the local language helps their conversations, though the priest's expectations remain puzzling.
