"where there are pistol shots, there are men. where there are men, there is food," he thought. but what kind of men, he wondered, in so forbidding a place? an unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore.

he saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore, and rainsford floundered along by the water. not far from where he had landed, he stopped.

some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush; the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson. a small, glittering object not far away caught rainsford's eye and he picked it up. it was an empty cartridge.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
