About This Book

A traveling motion-picture troupe begins by filming aboard ship, but a fire cripples their vessel and forces choices about lifeboats and wireless calls for help. The party reaches Florida, where filming and sightseeing give way to mishaps that strand members in wild coastal and inland terrain. The narrative follows their efforts to fight fires, negotiate dangerous waters and dungeons, endure long nights and strange attacks, and improvise shelters among palms while searching for lost companions. The story emphasizes teamwork, practical resourcefulness, and steady courage as the group navigates hazards until scattered members are reunited and brought safely out of the wilds.
