The story revolves around the adventures of siblings Walter and Emily Heathfield, who endure a dramatic beginning when they are rescued from a sinking ship along with their dying father.

As they settle into life aboard the captain's ship, they prepare for the voyage that holds new adventures and challenges, including the presence of a mysterious naturalist and the perils of the sea.
