| Summary | "Satan: A Romance of the Bahamas" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the adventures of Bobby Ratcliffe, a young man on a winter cruise in the Bahamas aboard a yacht named the "Dryad", alongside his somewhat stuffy companion, Skelton. The plot begins to unfold through themes of adventure and exploration as the characters encounter vibrant personalities like the Tylers, notably Satan and Jude, who live a carefree and unconventional life at sea. The opening of the story introduces the tropical setting and the contrasting personalities of the main characters. Bobby Ratcliffe, who longs for excitement, finds himself adrift with Skelton, whose rigid adherence to propriety frustrates him. During their cruise, they stumble upon the Tylers, whose free-spirited ways and intriguing backstories, particularly involving pirate lore and treasure, capture Ratcliffe's imagination. As Bobby's dissatisfaction with the mundane life aboard the "Dryad" grows, he becomes increasingly entangled in the Tylers' world, leading to tensions with Skelton and setting the stage for a dramatic exploration of freedom and adventure in the Caribbean.
