Edition: Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1919. Illustrated by J. D. Whiting.

[Drowned Gold] includes a singular search for treasure-trove in the form of gold lying in the hold of a vessel sunk by a submarine in the great war. It is carried out by a converted submarine with marvelous lights and attachments, invented by a friend of the young American captain whose life story and adventures form the main story. The narrative and dialogue would stand compression a little, but plot and incident are notably good. —The Outlook, 12 Nov. 1919. [Full review(s) in the discussion page]
