About This Book

A resourceful street boy secures employment in a shipping office and encounters a sequence of tests that force him to balance temptation, responsibility, and reputation. After a negligent moment leads to the loss of money he was charged to collect, he endures shame, suspicion, and the threat of dismissal. Subsequent episodes place him aboard a large vessel, into a dramatic naval engagement, and into perilous adventures ashore, where quick thinking, new alliances, and moral courage allow him to confront misunderstandings and ultimately regain standing and security.
