Authorship not stated

You are twelve-year-old William, aboard the Pacific as an Atlantic gale drives her before it and her captain sends the family below. The old sailor Masterman Ready keeps you close through calm and crisis both: a fair-weather stop at the Cape, then a second storm that cripples the ship among uncharted islands and strips her of her boats. When the crew abandons ship, you stay with the family and Ready, calling soundings toward a reef with one dark break that may be a channel, or the wreck's edge.
