About This Book

A troop of Sea Scouts, under the guidance of their Scoutmaster, takes charge of a guardship and embarks on an up‑channel voyage that becomes a sequence of practical trials. They render first aid to an injured vessel owner, improvise stretchers and medical care, and confront mechanical failures, a fouled propeller, dense fog and temporary capture. On shore they face a demanding trek, a missing patrol leader and improvised solutions involving outboard motors and even cement. The narrative emphasizes teamwork, discipline and resourcefulness as the boys resolve misunderstandings and turn setbacks into successful outcomes.
