| Summary | "The Coming Wave; Or, The Hidden Treasure of High Rock" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This book is part of the Yacht Club Series and features a nautical adventure set primarily in Penobscot Bay. The story revolves around the main character, Harvey Barth, a steward aboard the brig Waldo, and details the harrowing events that unfold during the vessel's encounter with a fierce storm, leading to a shipwreck and subsequent survival challenges. At the start of the story, the brig Waldo is sailing towards Penobscot Bay when it becomes caught in an unexpected tempest. The opening vividly describes the crew's frantic attempts to secure the ship in the face of the brewing storm, particularly focusing on the struggles of Harvey Barth and other crew members as they fight against the elements. As the storm intensifies, catastrophic events unfold, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Waldo and the loss of most of its crew, leaving Barth as the sole survivor. His experiences and reflections on the disaster not only establish a gripping narrative but also hint at themes of resilience and survival in the face of adversity, as he seeks refuge and contemplates his future after the wreck.
