Young Hunters in Porto Rico

or The Search for a Lost Treasure

Written by Captain Ralph Bonehill, pseudonym of Edward Stratemeyer

(1900)

PREFACE:

"The Young Hunters in Porto Rico" has been
written at the earnest solicitation of a number
of my young readers, who wished to follow the
further adventures of the Gun and Sled Club. In a former volume of this series, "Gun and
Sled," I related how the club was formed and
what a jolly time its members had during a winter
outing on Snow-Top Island. In the present
tale, one of the members becomes the proud
owner of a yacht, and of course nothing will do
but to take an ocean trip on the craft. During
this trip the boys learn of a Spanish treasure
said to be secreted in one of the great caves near
Caguas, on the island of Porto Rico, and at
once a hunt is instituted, and many stirring
adventures follow. The work was written primarily for the reader's
amusement, yet I have endeavored within
its pages to give a fair description of the Porto
Rico of to-day, as it appears to a traveler from
our States. This new island domain of ours is
but little known to the majority of us, but when
its picturesqueness, and its mild climate, become
a matter of publicity, Porto Rico is bound
to become the Mecca for thousands of American
tourists, in search of health and pleasure. From the number of letters received, I am
led to believe that "Gun and Sled" was well
liked by my readers. If this is so, I sincerely
trust that the present volume does not fall below
the other in merit.

Captain Ralph Bonehill.
