About This Book

The narrative follows two boys and an elderly professor who, after being cast ashore with only their clothes, use mechanical ingenuity to survive, fashion tools and devices, and learn scientific principles applied to daily tasks. They encounter hostile island tribes, repel attacks, rescue other captive boys, and execute night escapes and ruses involving rafts and wagons. Life at their cataract base includes workshops, farming, surveying, and teaching the curious chief about machinery. Episodes also explore navigation by stars, mineral discoveries, and a risky venture to a treasure-containing cave.
