The story follows Harvey Cheyne, a wealthy young man whose life takes a drastic turn after falling off a luxury liner and being rescued by a fishing schooner. Initially dismissed by the crew due to his spoiled demeanor, he is compelled to work alongside them until their journey ends. As he navigates the challenges of life at sea, he learns valuable lessons about hard work, humility, and the true meaning of life beyond wealth. Kipling's vivid portrayal of New England fishermen adds depth to this engaging adventure suitable for readers of all ages.
