About this book
Fresh air prescribed for weak lungs turns a college man into a cheerful wanderer who answers to Thomas Jefferson. Bobby, the narrator, describes his friend's generosity, musical mimicry and habit of choosing freedom over steady employment. A meeting on a Portland wharf leads the pair aboard a whaling ship, where Thomas wins the crew's affection before the northern coast draws him ashore.
James Oliver Curwood's short adventure moves from shipboard companionship to the country around Hudson Bay. The solitude changes Thomas's outlook, while his feelings for Lady Isobel bring questions of social rank into the story. A canoe outing exposes the travellers to sudden rough weather and a failing seam. Readers find an affectionate character portrait alongside danger at sea, with humour and friendship shaping the account of a restless man's changing priorities.
