"The Crack of Doom" by Robert Cromie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers on Arthur Marcel, a British traveler who meets the enigmatic Herbert Brande during a sea voyage.

narrator has not returned, nor has it ever been definitely traced. He
does not undertake to prove that it ever set out. But he avers that all
which is hereafter set down is truly told, and he leaves it to mankind
to accept the warning which it has fallen to him to convey, or await the
proof of its sincerity which he believes the end of the century will
produce.
