About this book

Fourteen-year-old Colin Estey knows the salt marshes and tidal river around Exmouth, but the woods beyond them still promise discoveries. On a September day, he sets out to find his friends and propose a longer woodland outing. The arrival of Nixon Warren from Philadelphia makes Colin wonder whether a city boy will share his enthusiasm. Their meeting opens Isabel Hornibrook's story of boys learning to turn outdoor excitement into useful skills.

The Owl Patrol practices signaling, takes hikes and camps in the New England woods. A doctor teaches care for injuries, Captain Andy talks about seamanship, and the French Canadian farmhand Toiney Leduc shares his knowledge of tracks and wildlife. The boys elect Toiney assistant scoutmaster, while his support helps the timid Harold take part.
