Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Adrift on the Pacific: A Boys Story of the Sea and its Perils" by Edward S. Ellis is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Captain Strathmore and his involuntary involvement with a young girl named Inez, who is presented to him as a passenger on his ship, the steamer "Polynesia". The narrative likely delves into themes of loss, love, and the unpredictable dangers associated with maritime journeys. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Captain Strathmore as he prepares for the voyage from San Francisco to Japan. He’s approached by a nervous gentleman who insists that his little niece, Inez, must board the ship urgently. Captain Strathmore is initially reluctant but agrees after recognizing the child’s resemblance to his own daughter, who tragically drowned years earlier. The opening chapters focus on the budding relationship between the Captain and Inez as the "Polynesia" sets sail, alongside foreshadowing of challenges they will face, including a sudden accident to the ship’s propeller and the unsettling presence of mutineers aboard a nearby schooner. The initial tone sets up a mix of innocence, nostalgia, and tension that hints at more perilous adventures and moral complexities to come.
