Summary "In Search of El Dorado" by Harry Collingwood is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two protagonists, Dick Cavendish and Wilfrid Earle, who, after surviving a maritime disaster reminiscent of the Titanic sinking, set out on a quest to find the legendary city of Manoa, rumored to be filled with gold and treasures. The book combines elements of exploration and camaraderie against a backdrop of danger and intrigue. The opening of the novel presents the dramatic setting aboard the ill-fated steamship "Everest", which collides with ice and faces impending disaster. Dick Cavendish, the fifth officer aboard, quickly rises to the occasion as chaos ensues, managing to quell a burgeoning panic among the passengers while the ship sinks. After being thrown overboard, he helps Wilfrid Earle, an adventurous American, as they seek refuge on a piece of drifting ice. The events lead to their rescue and set the stage for their journey into the jungles of South America, where the quest for the elusive El Dorado begins, highlighting themes of bravery, friendship, and the allure of adventure.
