Runaway At Sea

By Margreit Maitland

An adventure story filled with harrowing feats of survival set against an exciting historical background.

Fleeing from danger, Robert and his best friend Michael sneak aboard a ship and hide in a lifeboat, convinced they will start a new life at the next port. When they are found, the real trouble begins. Trapped aboard a British Naval vessel, the boys must learn to endure a harsh life at sea and figure out how to get off without being shot as deserters. Torrential storms, a terrorizing bully, a mysterious initiation, and an untimely death during a perilous rounding of Cape Horn fill their months with adventure. An unexpected chance to escape comes and the boys don't waste a moment. It doesn't take long for them to realize they have gotten themselves lost in a treacherous jungle. Sickness plagues them. Spiders, snakes, and lurking predators are there at every turn. Robert and Michael must learn to rely on their wits...if they want to survive.
