The opening of the narrative introduces Jack Harvey as he bids farewell to his parents at the pier. Jack, feeling a sense of freedom and adventure, inadvertently meets a fellow named Artie Jenkins, who lures him aboard a fishing schooner under false pretenses. After engaging in a moment of heroics by saving a boat from drifting away, Jack is befriended by Jenkins, who has ulterior motives. As the situation escalates, Jack unwittingly signs on to a crew, leading to a tumultuous adventure filled with unexpected challenges as he navigates life aboard the bug-eye, Z. B.
