Lost Fortune Turns On a Dog and a Mine
In a bustling tale of a dubious will and a wild treasure hunt, Stannie Dudley learns his cousin Percy hid a fortune in a Westward mine. A cryptic codicil directs him to a blue eyed girl, a piebald horse, and a dog with a split face to claim about $440,000, prompting a coast to coast search. A mysterious mining engineer, Brownbeard, reveals a past failed deal and a lost mine worth a fortune, leaving both men chasing clues and a dangerous chance. The pair meet on a Maine cruise and share stories of missed opportunities, cryptic heirs, and a hunt for a fortune that may be none at all.
