About This Book

A young, determined boy struggles to save money for a hoped-for sea voyage while facing repeated misfortunes and neighborhood rivalry. Episodic chapters trace his labor, thrift, and ingenuity as he builds and loses small boats, contends with debts and enemies, endures capture and confinement, and takes part in a violent attack on a yacht before a reversal restores freedom and prospects. Practical problem-solving, loyalty among friends, and a can-do spirit drive the action, blending domestic hardship with nautical adventure and moral lessons aimed at youthful readers.
