N2  - "The Mercer Boys on a Treasure Hunt" by Capwell Wyckoff is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book follows the Mercer brothers, Don and Jim, as they embark on an exciting quest influenced by a letter from Professor Scott, their former history teacher, concerning a legendary treasure associated with a mysterious Spanish galleon. The duo, along with their friend Terry Mackson, is drawn into a tale of piracy, hidden riches, and historical intrigue.  At the start of the story, the Mercer brothers are enjoying their summer break from Woodcrest Military Institute when a baseball mishap leads them to visit Professor Scott, who shares fascinating news about a treasure linked to the Phantom Galleon. As they listen to the professor recount tales of their family friend Ned's pursuits in California, they sense the thrill of adventure. Their excitement grows when they learn they might join the professor on a quest to uncover this treasure. However, they are soon introduced to a lurking danger with the appearance of a criminal named Sackett, hinting at sinister plots that lie ahead. Thus, the boys' seemingly mundane vacation transforms into a perilous treasure hunt rife with suspense and historical puzzles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
