About this book

Naval rank has become the prize at a boys' academy, where the students crew the yacht Storm King and take their shipboard duties very seriously. They drill, copy the habits of visiting sailors, and turn their evening leisure into noisy games and contests. Harry Green, the yacht's executive officer, has kept his position after an inquiry into an earlier attack. But Tom Newcombe, determined to control the vessel himself, announces that he has another idea.

Harry Castlemon builds this juvenile adventure around the clash between disciplined teamwork and a boy's stubborn appetite for mischief. A fire leaves the yacht damaged, and a small boat searches the dark harbor for Tom and his companions. Naval commands, student rivalries, and schemes that threaten real harm give the story its particular flavor. The floating schoolroom offers a look at older ideals of duty and good conduct, tested through action.
