The Pearl Fishers, published in 1915 by H. De Vere Stacpoole, is an adventure novel that follows Floyd, a sailor who survives a shipwreck and finds himself on a deserted island in the Pacific. There, he meets Schumer, a fellow survivor, and Isbel, a Polynesian girl, as they explore the lagoon's depths in search of pearls. The narrative captures the tension of survival, the allure of treasure, and the complexities of human relationships in isolation, set against the backdrop of the tropical seas.
