Summary | "Keeping His Course" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a spirited young boy named Toby Tucker, who works at his father's boatyard in Greenhaven, L.I. The narrative explores Toby's adventures as he navigates both the waters of Great Peconic Bay and the challenges of friendship, competition, and self-identity, particularly regarding his fiery hair and the teasing that comes with it. At the start of the novel, we find Toby responding to an incident at the town landing, where he encounters Arnold Deering, a new boy who seems a bit arrogant and inexperienced with boats. Their initial meeting involves a clumsy boat docking that leads to an angry confrontation when Arnold insults Toby about his hair. After a brief scuffle, they part ways, but fate brings them together again when they join forces to help recover stolen goods from a houseboat after chasing down the culprits. This opening sets the stage for a developing friendship between the two boys as they embark on a summer filled with adventure, ultimately testing their character and ideals in the process.
