| Summary | "The Pirate Shark" by Elliott Whitney is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mart Judson, a young mechanic who embarks on a thrilling journey across the Pacific Ocean with his friend Bob Hollinger and Bob's father, Captain Hollinger. Their quest leads them to Tringanu, a remote part of the Malay Peninsula, where they aim to uncover treasures and hunt exotic animals, all while encountering mysterious threats including a legendary man-eating shark. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mart, who struggles against the dismissive first mate, Swanson, as he seeks to join Captain Hollinger and his son on their yacht, the "Seamew". After some initial resistance, Mart learns he is invited to come along as a wireless operator. As they prepare for their voyage, the presence of Jerry Smith, an old quartermaster with a shadowy past, and hints of pirate lore create a sense of foreboding. The boys soon discover the dynamics aboard the yacht include tension between some crew members, particularly regarding the mysterious disappearances and conflicts hinting at darker secrets that could unfold as they pursue the adventures that await them.
