The opening of the novel introduces Harry's adventurous spirit influenced by a lineage of explorers and adventurers in his family. He makes an impulsive decision to leave home, driven by tales of distant lands and a longing for excitement. As he embarks on his journey aboard a ship, Harry encounters various challenges, including a harrowing accident on the Mississippi River that leads to his struggle for survival amidst drowning passengers and a fierce alligator. The beginning of the story sets the stage for an action-filled adventure, where Harry's bravery and quick thinking are put to the test as he rescues a fellow passenger, Peter, amidst chaos and danger.
