About This Book

The narrative follows a young protagonist who struggles to secure his place through a sequence of action-driven episodes: an impulsive choice leads to separation from companions, theft and suspicious circumstances, a dramatic man-overboard incident, discovery of a large check, arson and newspaper publicity, arrest and imprisonment, an escape and a clandestine pursuit of a hidden enemy. The story moves through mystery and detective work, a steamboat race and prison breakout, clues revealing a conspiracy, and finally vindication as the youths unravel the plot and recover fortune and reputation.
