A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them.

The story is an "expanding episodic adventure story, a cheeky-mannered comedy and a kind of detective mystery," according to Roderick Watson. It revolves around the abandoned Flying Scud shipwreck in Midway Atoll. The clues in a stamp collection are used to locate the missing crew and solve the mystery. Only in the last chapter different elements of the story are linked. Stevenson described it as a "South Sea thread" regarding "a very strange and flawed plan that was accepted with open eyes for what appeared to be compensatory opportunities offered."
