Through the long woful night Oliver Optic narrative unfolds
Clifton Graves survives a raging flood by clinging to a log then searches for his mother. He finds a ruined cabin and, after days of peril, is cared for by Still Buckram. A chest unearthed by flood reveals a £20,000 package from a vanished vault. Clifton contends with mystery, identity and a dangerous arc of hidden fortune while navigating wilderness justice and a hostile rival group.

The Buried Chest and 17s Contents
David Graves owned a fine Adirondack boat that descended to his son and wintered at Stilt's cabin. Clifton moved the boat to the lake, rode upriver to Smoker river, then found the log crossing washed away. He sought the log house site, noting the river’s bend and difficult ford, and recalled daily trips to Plainbridge Hotel while earning over a hundred dollars last season. He felt a rising mood as he neared his old home.
