The narrative centers around Donald Percival McKenzie, a boy from Glasgow, whose journey unfolds against the backdrop of his family's rich seafaring heritage and the challenges he faces when dealing with class distinctions and aspirations shaped by his parental influences. The opening of the story introduces readers to Donald Percival's dual identity, partially molded by his father's insistence on the name "Donald" over the more genteel "Percival," reflecting the family's roots and aspirations. Set during Donald's childhood, the chapter explores the tension between his mother, Janet McKenzie, and father, Captain Alec McKenzie, as they navigate expectations of social status and family pride. The narrative delves into themes of identity, class consciousness, and the pressures of familial ambition, highlighting the struggles Donald faces as he seeks acceptance among peers while grappling with his own sense of self and the lure of the sea that calls to him from his father's tales and experiences.
