"The Boy Fortune Hunters in Egypt" by Floyd Akers is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story follows young Sam Steele and his companions as they embark on a quest filled with excitement, mystery, and cultural exploration in Egypt. As the narrative opens, we are introduced to Sam and his crew aboard the merchant ship, the "Seagull", as they set off on a voyage that promises to unravelthe treasures and challenges of their journey.
