About This Book

A lively party of schoolboys and a few adults set out on a coastal excursion aboard the schooner Antelope, planning a route through the Bay of Fundy with stops at Moncton, Shediac, St. John, and Prince Edward's Island. Warm preparations and playful confidence among the boys contrast with teachers' unease and a captain's swagger, producing comic exchanges and warnings about seafaring risks. The account focuses on group dynamics, youthful daring, episodes of maritime lore and mishap, and the small domestic dramas that accompany departure, including Solomon's reasons for joining and debates over guardianship and responsibility.
