Summary: "Bob the Castaway; Or, The Wreck of the Eagle" by Frank V. Webster is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a mischievous boy named Bob Henderson, who is known for his pranks and troublemaking ways, as he faces the consequences of his antics and embarks on a life-changing sea voyage under the guidance of his seafaring relative, Captain Spark.

His antics culminate in a particularly embarrassing incident at a donation supper for the village minister, leading his mother to decide that the best course of action may be to send him to sea with Captain Spark to instill a greater sense of responsibility and discipline.
