Lashed to the stump of a mast as a Caribbean hurricane batters his brigantine, a half-grown lad is hauled ashore by the life chain. Darry finds work with the Peake family in a cabin by the marsh, faces down Jim the bully over stolen traps, and sets his heart on joining the men who keep the lonely night patrol of the coast.
Storm-and-rescue adventure for boys drawn to surf boats, signal rockets and the old coast lifesaving service. Download the free EPUB.
