"The Nameless Island: A Story of Some Modern Robinson Crusoes" by Percy F. Westerman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of characters, primarily young adventurers, who find themselves shipwrecked on a deserted island after a harrowing hurricane.

At the start of the narrative, the characters are introduced aboard the cargo steamer "San Martin". The ship, under the command of Captain Perez, is making its way toward Tahiti when it encounters a fierce hurricane. Among the passengers are Mr. McKay, his son Andrew, and their friend Terence, who must work together to navigate the ship's distress and ultimately face the reality of being stranded on the titular nameless island.
