About This Book

The story follows two brothers, Walter and Eugene Gaylord, who lead a young sportsmen’s club through a winter of hunting, fishing, sailing, and other outdoor pursuits on bayous and coastal waters. Their spirited pastimes prompt episodes of rivalry, danger, and rescue as a spiteful opponent seeks to foil their plans. Adventures include organized hunts, wild‑hog chases, a schooner expedition, a besieged refuge, bold escapes, and a high‑seas pursuit involving a revenue cutter, with emphasis on camaraderie, practical resourcefulness, and boyish mishaps that drive a sequence of action‑oriented episodes.
