Captain Grant's Children
About This Novel
The Duncan, a new ship of the Scottish aristocrat Sir Glenarvan, caught a shark during its trial voyage. The sailors found a drift bottle in the shark's belly. The letter in the bottle was blurred due to being soaked in seawater. According to the remaining handwriting, it can be inferred that this is a distress letter sent by a captain named Grant two years ago. He was trapped somewhere at the 37° south latitude. Lord Glenarvan turned to the English navy for help in rescuing Captain Grant, but to no avail. At the request of Captain Grant's children, Mary and Robert, he decided to set sail on his Duncan to search. They searched all the land at 37 degrees south latitude: Chile and Argentina in South America, the interior of Australia, and New Zealand. They were surrounded by dangers along the way. They climbed mountains and glaciers but encountered sudden earthquakes, crossed grasslands and encountered droughts and floods, and encountered beasts on land and storms at sea.
