About this book
News of a missing ship changes Harry Musgrave's future. With his father's vessel long overdue and his mother's money running low, Harry becomes an apprentice aboard the Lily. His uncle, Jack Radburn, serves as mate under Captain Haiselden, and his promise to support the family gives the voyage a purpose beyond earning a living. The opening places loyalty, practical kindness and Christian trust beside the uncertainty of life at sea.
Kingston's story for young readers follows the working world of a sailing brig, from handling canvas and sounding the water to making decisions under pressure. In one episode, an island volcano erupts while the crew watches from offshore. Jack leads a boat towards a threatened village, with Harry among those volunteering to help.
