N2  - "The Secret of the Reef" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jimmy Farquhar, a second mate on a steamer, who is thrust into a challenging adventure after being dismissed from his ship. The narrative captures themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the pursuit of fortune, as Jimmy embarks on a quest to recover the rumored treasure from a wreck near an island reef.  At the start of the book, we are introduced to Jimmy as he reflects on his experiences at sea, particularly his connection with a fellow passenger, Ruth Osborne. Their budding relationship is overshadowed by Jimmy's recent dismissal from the ship due to a moment of questionable judgment involving a crew member's health. Following his departure from the liner, Jimmy pursues a new venture with two companions, aiming to salvage gold from the wreck on a treacherous reef. Their journey is fraught with difficulties, from harsh weather conditions to strained relationships, setting the stage for a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue.
