An old man tells his grandchildren of the summer at Braycombe when he was nine and his cousin Aleck came to stay. There are lessons with his mother and the tutor, a ride across the moor to Stavemoor, the building of model ships, the white-rock caverns of the red sandstone coast, and then a missing vessel and sorrowful days that teach both boys something about faith.
