Summary: "Down South; or, Yacht Adventure in Florida" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is part of "The Great Western Series" and follows the adventures of young yachtman Alick Garningham as he navigates the beautiful waterways of Florida. With themes of friendship, adventure, and overcoming adversity, the narrative centers around Alick and his companions exploring the St. Johns River and the unique challenges they encounter along the way. At the start of the novel, Alick and his crew aboard the steam-yacht Sylvania are returning to Florida after a long cruise. Alick shows skill and confidence in navigation as he employs various methods to confirm their location near St. Augustine. The opening chapters also introduce Alick’s passengers, including his cousin Owen and Miss Edith, who add a social dynamic to the story. As the Sylvania docks, the crew is met with excitement, and Alick prepares to continue his adventures in the sunny South, while also alluding to a mysterious antagonist with a vengeful plot against him. The stage is set for a combination of nautical exploration, character interactions, and unfolding drama amidst the enchanting backdrop of Florida. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
