About this book
Seek and Find or The Adventures of a Smart Boy is by Oliver Optic. A passenger addresses Ernest Thornton, asking to be landed here, anywhere, even on that island, and not to be given back to her. A speaker tells Miss Loraine he does not know what to do, but thinks she ought to have dry clothes at once.
A chapter is headed In Which Ernest Listens to the Story of Miss Kate Loraine. A first-person speaker takes Kate's valise, tells her to follow him and leads Kate up the rude steps on the curve of the paddle-box, heedless of the sign which interdicted passengers from ascending. The narrator calls "Now jump, Kate!" as the bell rings to start the wheels, and Kate answers that she is afraid, shuddering as she looks down into the yawning gulf below. A waiter shouts to the narrator, who throws him his tickets and says he must land at Poughkeepsie, fearful of being accused of trying to evade the payment of fares.
