Talk:Drowned Gold

Reviews

 * The Outlook, 12 Nov. 1919: This tale 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.


 * Dorothy Scarborough, in "Latest Modes in Fiction" in The Bookman, Nov. 1919: Roy Norton's "Drowned Gold" is another yarn in which a woman is enterprising in the hunt for treasure, here the method of recovery being a converted submarine, and the loot on a ship sunk by German torpedoes. Woman is active these days, not content with hauling in the bullion, but insisting on discovering romance for herself in the person of her rival.


 * The Nation, 4 Oct 1919. "Drowned Gold" is, of course, a yarn of sunken treasure, an American mariner, a lovely girl, and a German villain. We shall probably see endless submarine-sunken-treasure yarns. This one is not without strength or a breath of the sea upon its pages.
