The Golden Reef (1969)
by Pattinson, James
When the S.S. Southern Queen encounters a life boat marked Valparaiso a boat that had been sunk by the Japanese a year earlier, a strange mystery begins. More interestingly the sunken ship carried gold. There was a man in the life boat and despite his 'amnesia' he still wants to go back to the Pacific. Rains and Jones follow close behind.
