Fresh from school and with no profession in view, young Maurice sails from Ireland with his Uncle Nicholas’s family and the irrepressible Tim Flanagan to settle in Florida. Hunting, sailing and the company of a Frenchman, Monsieur Lejoillie, fill the days until frontier warfare puts the party in danger; its portrayal of Native Americans belongs to its time.
