An albatross circling the Atlantic looks down on a raft no bigger than a dining table, built from a dolphin-striker, a spritsail yard and a few planks, carrying a man-of-war’s man and a boy. Survivors of a ship on fire, they battle hunger, thirst, terror and despair, catching flying-fish and rain, before their adventures carry on by land.
