About this ebook
"The Cruise of the 'Alerte': The narrative of a search for treasure on the desert island of Trinidad" by E. F. Knight is the true story of a 19th century private expedition to recover a rumored buried treasure on a deserted island off the coast of Brazil. Thanks to his experience as an English barrister, soldier, and journalist, Knight is able to give a detailed and straightforward tale of hard work, setbacks, and eventual failure, though none of the gentlemen adventurers seem too put out by that ending.
