| Summary | "The Demon Cruiser" by R. L. Wheeler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a dark and suspenseful maritime adventure, centered on the ship "Maxwell" and its journey back to New York from Australia. The plot unfolds with a series of ominous events as the wealthy passenger William Manton becomes the target of dark intentions from the ship's third mate, Mr. Brand, leading to treachery on the high seas. The opening of the novel sets a grim tone as the "Maxwell" is on its homebound journey. William Manton, who carries a fortune intended for his daughter, is observed in the depths of night by the sinister third officer, Brand, who harbors murderous intentions. After a chilling confrontation, Manton is thrown overboard, leading Brand to steal the locked iron box that held Manton's wealth. As the story progresses, the narrative hints at tension-filled moments, misfortune, and supernatural elements tied to Brand's dark deeds, suggesting that the consequences of treachery on the sea are far-reaching and may haunt him in unexpected ways.
