At sixteen the narrator waits on a Savannah steamer in New York for young Rectus, whose parents insist on seeing him off. The two boys travel through Florida and the islands, storm the old fort of San Marco, meet the excitable Chipperton family and a girl on the beach, and hear the story of Africans rescued from a slave ship.
