Description
Partners Three is a boys' sea novel by Ralph Henry Barbour, illustrated by Relyea and published in Chicago by Donohue in 1913. Its hero is Jack Herrick, skipper of the launch Crystal Spring, shown nosing her way out of Herrick's Cove in the frontispiece.
The contents map a summer of salt water. A rescue makes the partnership, and a pair of amateur salts join the skipper. Buried treasure starts the plot: Bee composes an ode to the sea, plans an expedition, and digs on Nobody's Island. A man with a glass eye, a sunken wreck, and a marooning follow. Trained clams, a schooner ashore, and a gale fought by the life-boat raise the stakes. A letter in a dory and treasure trove close the hunt. Barbour wrote dozens of such tales, in which boys, boats, and buried gold keep school holidays at sea.
